Grades moving rapidly in the right direction at Roade

Results at Roade School Sports College dramatically improved this year with 78% of students gaining 5 A*-C grades at GCSE. 50% of students achieved 5 A*-C including English and Maths which is a 25% improvement on last year.

Subjects where students were particularly successful included Art, Media and Food Technology. The core subjects of Maths, English and Science also performed well with almost 70% of students gaining a C grade or better in English and almost 85% of students gaining two or more science grades at C or above.

Some notable successes by students included Sergio Gomes, Leah Hedges, Tom Holmes, Rebecca Howard, Adam Kucewicz, Joe Manktelow, Emily Pilcher and Emma Titmuss all of whom achieved nine or more A/A* grades.

“I am delighted to see the success of so many students this year.  These results are a reflection of the hard work of students and staff throughout the year together with the support of their parents.  They provide a secure foundation for future studies and for employment. ”

A Level Results

Roade School’s A level students once again improved the overall results in both Year 12 and Year 13, with a number of students achieving straight As. 68% of the Year 13 results were graded A*-C. Particular congratulations to the Mathematics students, all of whom achieved a grade A or A*.

Despite the national picture presented by UCAS, the vast majority of our students secured their first choice university place.

Acting Headteacher, Tony Nelson said, “I’m very pleased that the results have improved yet again.  Our Sixth Form continues to be a key strength of the school”.

'Taking pride in achieving our best'

At the heart of our work is a determination that every young person achieves at the highest possible level, both in academic terms and in personal development. Our sports specialism provides the framework within which these goals are pursued, whereby pupils are challenged to have high aspirations for themselves and are provided with a wide range of opportunities, to develop the appropriate range of personal and learning skills, which underpin success.

We set high standards recognising that young people thrive where clear expectations exist and are maintained, ensuring that everyone can benefit fully from these opportunities and achieve personal success within a school community, where the skills, talents and needs of all, are fully respected.
