GCSE Results for Banovallum

Banovallum students are celebrating an excellent set of GCSE results this year, with a record number of students achieving the top grades of 7, 8 and 9 and the year group as a whole improving the pass rate of 5 good GCSEs from 48% in 2019 to 61% this year.

Headteacher Grant Edgar said:

“After a very challenging few years for students and parents, these represent an exceptional performance by the students. These grades could not have been achieved without the hard graft and resilience of the students, who were supported by their parents every step of the way. I would also like to play a special tribute to all the staff at Banovallum who have played their part in ensuring that the school remained fully open over the last eighteen months. To some extent, we can juggle classes around but if we lose staff in our support functions, then we would struggle to keep the school open. These results are as a result of all members of the Banovallum community working together to secure the best outcomes for the students. I am proud of the work of each, and every person connected to the school.

“We continued with our strong performance at Grade 9, with twelve Grade 9s being awarded to the following students: Molly Allen & Leah Ward (both Art); Angelica Morris (Art and Geography); Fleur Fawcett (Food Technology); Morgan Jones (Photography). Two students achieved a very impressive three Grade 9s: Ebony College (English Language, History & Religious Studies) and Ella Fawcett (Design Technology, Geography & Maths). Three students also secured the highest grade possible in their Cambridge National Award for Sports Science: Jasmine Harris, Rubie Leybourne and Katie Sweet. Well done to them all.

“There were a number of students who performed extremely well across a range of subjects, and they too can be proud of themselves: Fleur Fawcett; Genevieve Learoyd; Oliver Hirst; Victoria Lee, Ella Fawcett; Angelica Morris; Ebony College; Isobel Fairholm; Liv Taylor; Morgan Jones. Other outstanding performances came from the following students: Ethan Goddard; Michael Fields; Peter Dowse; Keira Parker, Liam Tommon; Jensen Tyrrell, Jake Holmes and Sam Johnson.

"After a very difficult two or three years, I am delighted for the cohort and their families. The students can now go on and enter their next phase of education, employment or training fully confident and equipped to make the next steps.”
