Grade rise in maintained schools

Grade rise in maintained schools

There has been a substantial rise in the GCSE results achieved by maintained schools, the government claims.

The headline provisional GCSE figures for the last academic year show that 50.4 per cent of pupils at maintained schools achieved five or more GCSEs including maths and English with grade C or above, up by 2.1 percentage points from last year.

Such a figure is above the national average, where 49.7 per cent of pupils achieved five or more good GCSEs, including maths and English.

Schools minister Vernon Coaker said: "Today is a day to celebrate. These are the best ever GCSE resuls with the biggest ever year-on-year improvement. Congratulations to all the pupils and teachers for their hard work."

The new figures, released today, also indicated a narrowing of the gender gap in terms of achievement at maintained schools.

Teachers in various areas of London, including Hammersmith, Fulham, Hackney, Kensington and Chelsea may be pleased to hear that these areas sustained improvements well above the national average rate.
