I am delighted to share with you another year of outstanding success for the pupils of The Sacred Heart. At a time of significant changes to the GCSE curriculum it is wonderful to see the achievements of all of our pupils who have much to be proud of.

Highlights include :

* 86% of students achieving a pass grade in English and mathematics

* 84% of students gaining 5 or more GCSE grades including a pass in English and mathematics

* 65% of students achieving the English baccalaureate

Of particular note are the vast number of students who excelled in achieving the higher grades.

* 37% of all grades awarded were 7-9 (A*-A)

* 52 pupils achieved 8 or more GCSEs at grades 7-9 (A*-A)

We are all so proud of our young people and all that they have achieved. There is a great deal to celebrate this summer. I am confident that this will build on our previous success which saw the achievement and progress of our young peole placing our school in the top 3% in the country in 2017. These outstanding outcomes are as a result of hard work and commitment both from our students and, of course, our dedicated staff.

Best wishes and congratulations to all our young people.
