22nd August 2024GCSE Results 2024
We are delighted to share with you the news of our incredibly strong GCSE results for 2024. These results are the best we’ve ever seen at County against almost every single measure and are a testament to the relentless dedication of our staff and the remarkable work ethic of our students. Our focus now shifts to welcoming these students into our Sixth Form, for which we are still accepting new applications, and to ensuring that they are prepared for the challenges and rigour of post 16 study.
Despite all and any challenges that have faced our outgoing Year 11s’ education, it has been truly rewarding to watch them grow into the outstanding young adults that they are today, supported by a fantastic team of staff. We are now looking forward to the upcoming national data analysis, which will allow us to precisely measure the progress of each student and the school as a whole. That said, given our very strong attainment figures, I’m confident that we have performed admirably as a school at GCSE level and that every child should be able to take pride in their achievements.
As we prepare now to enter the new academic year, our challenge is to continue striving for excellence for every single child. We have already spent considerable time reviewing our results, student by student and our focus now will be on those marginal gains that we can continue to make and that will continue to foster truly effective learning experiences for every student.
Today, then, marks the conclusion of one phase of each student’s education and presents a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their achievements. We are incredibly proud of the Year 11 Class of 2024 for their outstanding results and wish them the very best as they move on to the next chapter of their lives. For many, I’m thrilled to say that this next chapter will be with us here at Guildford County Sixth Form and we look forward to welcoming them and a large number of new recruits in September.
As we move into the new academic year, we will make it our mission to transform the lives of the children we serve and to ensure that learning is ever at the centre of our work here at County. We will do this with a care and dedication that set us apart from others.Read Full Article

Celebrating the Success of Our Year 13 Students: A Bright Future Ahead
We are thrilled to announce the outstanding achievements of our outgoing Year 13 students. Their success is a testament to the dedication and hard work that they have put into their studies, supported by an exceptional staff team who have guided them every step of the way. Today, we celebrate not just the academic results but also the bright futures that await our alumni.
This year’s exam season was particularly challenging, given the disruption these students faced earlier in their secondary education due to the pandemic. Despite these obstacles, our students have shown remarkable resilience.
The atmosphere this morning, as we distributed exam results, was one of celebration and optimism, not just among the students but also among our staff. We have already begun planning for the coming academic year, discussing what more can be done, and what can be done differently, to secure even greater outcomes for the incoming Year 13 cohort. Our commitment to excellence remains unrelenting and we continue to have the highest expectations of ourselves and our students.
Today, we also take the time to reflect on the personal stories of individual students for whom these results represent significant milestones. Under the guidance of expert teachers and with the strategic support of our skilled Governing Body and growing Trust, our students have achieved remarkable success.
We are particularly proud of those students who have achieved straight A* grades and those who have far exceeded their targets. As a Music Specialist College, we are also delighted that two of our co-hort now go on to study at Conservatoire. As well as this, we have students studying Medicine and Veterinary Science as well as success at Oxbridge, not to mention those students going off to study for an apprenticeship and those planning to travel or enter the world of work. A really strong set of outcomes for a really strong group of young people.
Today marks the end of one phase of our students’ education and the beginning of another. We are proud to congratulate the Sixth Form Class of 2024 on their many achievements and wish them all the best as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. We hope many will choose to join our growing alumni community, allowing us to continue celebrating their successes in the years to come.Read Full Article
