Excellent GCSE Results

Eggbuckland Community College are celebrating with their Year 11 cohort this morning as they achieve excellent GCSE results, showing a significant improvement from previous years.

We are incredibly proud of our students who have shown tenacity, determination and resilience throughout the year, culminating in achieving fantastic results, including our best ever outcomes in Maths and English.  Our students have certainly risen to the challenge of becoming our exceptional graduates of 2024.  These grades will ensure that our students have the outcomes needed to progress on to their chosen pathway, be it Sixth Form, College or an apprenticeship. 

Many of our students achieved exceptional results due to their hard work and commitment to their studies. Among the top performers, with an impressive collection of 8 or more of the very top grades were Louis Rodwell-Chai, Alfie Follet, Yazmin Taylor and Lewis Taylor who all plan to embark upon A levels in September across a range of subjects, including Maths, Further Maths, Business, Geography, English Literature and History.  We must also congratulate many other students, including Millie Watkins, Charlotte Fisher, and Joseph O’Dowd Channing for the superb progress they have made throughout their time at ECC.

After opening their results, Mia Endacott, who has managed to balance her studies alongside representing England in Women’s football, wanted to say: ‘I’m really proud of the grades I have received. Thank you to all the staff and teachers at Eggbuckland for helping me through secondary school and helping me achieve the grades.’

The whole College community are celebrating with our Year 11 students today, and we look forward to many students returning to study in our Sixth Form in September. Whilst many students continue their studies at Eggbuckland, we pride ourselves on the excellent careers advice and guidance we provide, helping our students to secure next steps pathways where they will flourish.  For all those leaving the College, we wish them every success as exceptional Eggbuckland alumni.

Having seen students open their results this morning, Head of Year 11, Helen Mullally commented: “I am incredibly proud of the Year 11 cohort for their outstanding performance in their exams. They have truly excelled, demonstrating remarkable commitment and resilience in their studies. Their hard work and dedication throughout the year have clearly paid off, with many students surpassing expectations with their grades. This success not only highlights their determination but also sets a strong foundation for their future academic endeavours, leaving them well-prepared for the challenges ahead. A huge well done to them all, I can’t wait to see them continue to flourish”

Reflecting on this year’s GCSE results, Principal, Heather Lilley, said, “Since joining the College last September, it has been an absolute pleasure to watch this Year group grow and mature into wonderful young people.  As we have steadily risen the bar of expectation, our students have never failed to meet the next challenge.  I hope that every student is as proud of their achievements as we are; they truly are our exceptional graduates.  This cohort have embraced every opportunity they have been provided with, and they are now reaping the rewards.  We have seen significant improvement in results across the board this summer and this would not have been possible without the on-going hard work from our staff at the College and Westcountry Schools Trust for their continued support.  Thank you to all our parents and carers for the part they play in supporting their child’s education and the College.  I wish all of our Year 11 students the very best of luck as they embark on the next stage of their education pathway.”

Congratulations again to all of our students on their achievements!
