GCSE Success at HGS 2017

Handsworth Grammar School has enjoyed an excellent set of GCSE results despite the national volatility and turmoil surrounding new courses and grading systems, with some outstanding individual results achieved by our hard working students. It is acknowledged that there has been much unpredictability this year (and last year!) in the light of major reforms and changes to the examination and assessment system. We are very pleased to report that the overall picture at HGS is again one of consistent and sustained progress as well as positive development. Approximately 50% of all entries were at A* and A grade which is up on the results of the last 2 years as well as being well above the national figures. Overall 97% of all entries were at A* to C grade. In Mathematics 100% of all entries were at A* to C grade. In both English Literature and English Language 99% of all entries were at A* to C grade. This is a wonderful achievement bearing in mind the changes that have taken place in both of these subjects this year. 100% of all entries were at pass grade level.

40 students attained 8 or more A* and A grades.

33 students attained 10 or more A* and A grades.

14 students attained straight A* and A grades – they were:

Joshua Nagra, Khanh Pham, Sunni Purewal, Arunvir Singh, Sankavan Sukanthan, Ibrahim Kabir, Raqeeb Khan, Hassan Ahmed and Jubaer Ahmed, Hasan Arif, Kyron Chander-Masaun, Safwanul Haque, Elias Idjer and Gugandeep Sohal.

We congratulate all of our students for their hard work and dedication to their studies, and wish them every success as they embark upon their A Level courses. We also congratulate and thank our dedicated staff who have supported their students every step of the way.
