Congratulations Year 11

GCSE Results – Academic Year 2022/2023

We were delighted to welcome Year 11 back into school this morning to receive their GCSE results and there was certainly plenty to celebrate. Contrary to the national picture, the grades achieved by our students compared to last year saw an improvement by every measure. The pass rate was especially pleasing, with 92% of grades at 9-4, 10% better than in 2019 (the year against which comparisons are being made), and significantly higher than the national average of 68.2%. For an essentially non-selective school, these results are outstanding and very much reflect the continuing academic momentum and aspiration at Farringtons. They are also, of course, testament to the hard work of the pupils and the commitment of their hugely dedicated teachers. We are enormously proud of their successes and wish them all the very best for their future studies, whether that be with us in the Sixth Form or elsewhere. Particular congratulations go to Sofia who secured grade 9s across the board, as well as five other pupils (Stefan, Aris, Leo, Luca and Tim), all of whom achieved nine or more grades 9-7.
