Students studying Mathematics which has long been a strong performing subject within the school attained highly once again this year and above Welsh government modelled expectations with 65% of students achieving a C or above.   The exceptional attainment was not limited to Year 11 alone but testimony to the schools pursuit of challenge for all students was exemplified in the achievement of 34 Year 10 students who sat Mathematics GCSE in Year 9 and this year went on to sat a GCSE in additional Mathematics to prepare them for the start of the A level this September whilst they are in Year 11.  Of the 34 year 10, 27 achieved distinction, 5 a merit and 1 a pass.

Well done to all.  27 year 11 also sat additional Mathematics alongside their GCSEs with 10 attaining distinction, 6 a merit and 5 a pass. A strong foundation to begin their A level studies in Mathematics has been laid in preparation for future success within the schools Sixth Form Centre.
