Gryphon students celebrate excellent GCSE results!
Gryphon School students are celebrating an excellent set of GCSE results today. Acting Headteacher Jim Gower said, “I am so very proud of each and every Year 11 Gryphon student. Our students have embraced our Gryphon ethos of striving to live their lives in all their fullness and have been rewarded by achieving incredible results that will allow them to move on to the next stage of their educational journey. We look forward to welcoming many of them into our Sixth Form and wish those students going on to apprenticeships and college courses all the very best for their future. I am enormously grateful for all the effort put in by our wonderful team of staff to support all our students in enabling them to reach their full potential”.
Head of Year 11, Cath Moore, said “I am proud of every single student’s achievement today; their time with us has been full of ups and downs but they have navigated this with resilience and relentless positivity. Year 11 have made the most of every opportunity given to them and I can’t wait to follow their future successes”.
Maya Caddick was the top achiever with 9 x 9s and 2 x 8s GCSEs. She said, “I would like to thank all my teachers for supporting me and always being so positive”. Maya has accepted a place at Bishop Wordsworth’s Sixth Form in Salisbury. Mya Golden, Thomas Powell and Jack Taylor were all awarded 10 GCSEs at grade 9 or 8, whilst Harry Foster-Pegg, Laura Jones and Vienna Matts all attained 9 GCSEs at grade 9 or 8.
Exciting destinations include Owen Morris, who has already started his initial Navy training, and Luke Hancock, who has enrolled on an apprenticeship with Leonardos. Luke said, “I am extremely surprised, but I am over the moon”.
As well as The Gryphon Sixth Form, students have accepted places at Kingston Maurward, Strode College, Yeovil College, and several apprenticeships. Emily Grace-Watts, who performed spectacularly well compared to her target grades, added, “I am so happy. I am going to study Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths in The Gryphon Sixth Form. I hope to be a midwife in the future”.
