Pupils in Cheshire East have once again broken their own records with an impressive set of GCSE results.
Provisional figures show that a record 65 per cent of pupils achieved five or more A*- C grades, including English and maths, which is a two per cent improvement on last year.
The proportion of pupils gaining five A*- C grades in any subject is also up, from 80 per cent last year, to 83 per cent this year.
Councillor Rhoda Bailey, Cabinet support member with responsibility for children and family services, said: “Once again, our pupils have excelled and I congratulate them on some impressive results.
“The figure that is most important is the five A*- C grades, including English and maths, and to have built upon the significant improvements seen last year is excellent news.
“I am sure that many of our young people were very nervous as they made their way into schools this morning but I do hope they are all pleased with their results.
“GCSE results, combined with the excellent results seen from early years, primary schools, through to A-levels, mean that this has been a very successful summer for Cheshire East learners.
“I want to thank the school staff and teachers who worked very hard to support our pupils and also the young people themselves, who are maintaining a high success rate in Cheshire East.”
