Record-breaking I/GCSE results at The Perse School

22 Aug 2019

The Perse is celebrating record-breaking I/GCSE results thanks to the excellent performance of the school’s 176 Year 11 students who have achieved some stellar grades in their exams.

A record total of 84% of Perse entries were graded 9 or 8, which is broadly equivalent to the old GCSE A* grade. This compares to last year’s previous high of 80% of entries graded at 9/8/A*.

Overall, 94% of Perse entries scored a 9, 8 or 7 grade, which is the equivalent of the old GSCE A*-A grades, and 61% of entries were graded at 9, which is nearly 14 times the national 9 rate in 2018.

Meanwhile, 75 pupils achieved 9 or 8 grades (broadly equivalent to an A*) in all of their subjects, and more than 90% of pupils attained 9 or 8 grades (broadly equivalent to an A*) in computer science, geography, Greek, Latin and maths.

Head Ed Elliott commented: “I congratulate Year 11 on their outstanding achievements, which are the product of much hard work. Their success is richly deserved.

“I also thank the teaching and support staff for all the help and encouragement they have given pupils. We should all be very proud of what they have achieved.”
