Staff and students at Ely College are celebrating another set of impressive GCSE results.
Simon Warburton, Principal of Ely College, said: “These really are an exceptional set of results for an exceptional year group. Today marks the end of compulsory schooling for our 196 Year 11 students who, when the COVID pandemic struck, were just one term into their Year 9 studies. We could not be prouder of the maturity and determination that they have shown over the past two years; this group of students have not let their circumstances affect their determination to succeed.
These results have been made possible by the willingness of students, staff and families to overcome challenges and work together to ensure that they were as ready as they could possibly be for the summer examination series.
We aspire to support students to be successful, confident and responsible – I think we can all consider that this has certainly been achieved this year. The Ely College staff are looking forward to welcoming our students back into college this morning to celebrate the results of their hard work and dedication. We wish this amazing group of students the very best success for their future studies and careers.”
Four students are celebrating particularly excellent results. Nola Guy, Alex Cheng, Tymek Niewodniczanski and Jan Dietrich all achieved an astonishing ten grade 9s (the highest possible grade) across their subjects.
Sheer hard work and dedication also paid off for Charlotte Beck for her nine grade 9s and congratulations are also due to Rachel Lee and Ella Dunham who secured a hugely impressive eight grade 9s each. We are all particularly proud of the achievements of Seth Meek, Abigail Alston, Gopika Nair and Eloise Holgate for securing grades far in excess of their forecasts.
Richard Spencer, Executive Principal at Meridian Trust said: “Huge congratulations to everyone celebrating well-deserved success today. The students and their families should be very proud of all they have overcome to secure these results. Meridian Trust is very proud of the superb results secured by Ely College, and I’d like to extend my special thanks to the wonderful staff who have supported our young people so well.”
