GCSE Results 2011

The School is celebrating yet another year of success with excellent achievement by Year 11 pupils with their GCSE results.

The School continues to enjoy the confidence and positive support of parents and the community. It is this support and genuine working together, which underpins pupil achievement and ensures the School sustains its high standards.

Of the 211 pupils on roll, 82.9% achieved 5+ A* - C.

  • 71 % of pupils achieved 5+ A* - C grades including English and Mathematics
  • 27.5% of pupils achieved 5+ A* and A grades
  • 98.1% of pupils achieved 5+ A* - G grades overall
  • Highlights include 7 pupils achieving all A* and A grades (or equivalents)
  • 89.1% of pupils achieved 2+ A* - C grades in Science subjects

We are also pleased to announce 1 pupil, in Year 8, has achieved an A* grade in Spanish; 60 pupils in Year 9 achieved A* - C in a Modern Foreign Language, and 30 pupils in Year 10 achieved A* - C in Statistics.

Pupils, staff, parents and Governors are to be congratulated on a great team effort.


 
The School enjoys an outstanding reputation and has an excellent record of academic and sporting success. At 16+ our pupils are all placed in further education, employment or in training. As a Science Specialist School we are working to share excellent practice with other schools – a two way process that is bringing real benefit to support teachers in the classroom here and elsewhere.
The School now has six ICT suites. In addition, there are class sets of laptops linked to the network for flexible working. In recent years there has been major investment in the School providing a new Sports Hall, all weather , floodlit Tennis Courts, new teaching rooms, multi-purpose studio and through Specialist School Status - Science laboratories and enhanced Mathematics facilities.

Commitment to staff development is extremely important and reflected in our ‘Investor in People’ (IIP) award. The School has been very successful in guiding colleagues to promoted posts. The age profile is broad with many young and recently joined staff and a core of very able and experienced, longer serving colleagues.
 


Extra curricular activities are too numerous to list. Here are just a few: Saturday Maths Workshops for Year 6, Rock Challenge, Orchestra trip to Paris, French trip, German and Spanish exchanges, ski trips, World War One History Battle Fields trip, Geography trip to France, School Production, Speaking Competition, Science Competitions, Sporting Fixtures, Theatre Trips, Charity Fund Raising, School Council etc.
The School is a hive of activity both at lunchtimes and at the end of the teaching day. Staff make a significant commitment to providing enrichment opportunities for all pupils.

The Governors are very involved in the leadership and management of the School and highly supportive.
 

The School has a strong Learning Support Department. Staff get to know the pupils well. Pupils are routinely assessed on entry, using cognitive ability, reading and spelling tests. It is not unusual for up to half of our new pupils (210 in a Year Group) to be given varying levels of support (mostly short term) to raise standards of Literacy and Numeracy.

School Curriculum: Core Science (and separate Sciences - Chemistry, Physics & Biology), Maths, English, English Literature, History, Geography, ICT, PDL, Languages (French, German & Spanish), Technology, RE, PE and the Arts and Vocational courses in Performing Arts, Health and Social Care, Travel and Tourism, Art and Design and Digital Applications (DIDA) contribute to a broad and balanced course of study. Key Stage 4 comprises guided choices, RE, PDL, ICT, a language and core subjects.

Pupils are given rich and varied opportunities through Art, Drama and Music and Dance. Pupils of all abilities do well in both curricular and extra curricular/enrichment activities.

We are proud that ours is described by visitors as a happy School where there is a supportive structure in which individuals are valued and do well. Keep in touch with our Weekly Bulletin available through this site (all routine communication from school is via email).

I hope this has given you a sense of the character of Cams Hill School.
