Grangefield celebrates at the Young Chamber Regional Conference

Four students joined other young people from across the North East in a day of fun-filled activities to celebrate designation as a Young Chamber School. Grangefield is the only school in the Tees Valley to be involved with this exciting initiative and we welcome the opportunity for our students to work with the Chambers of Commerce in developing business involvement throughout school.

Grangefield celebrates ‘Best Ever GCSE Results’

Once again the exam performance of Grangefield pupils has exceeded expectations. This summer’s GCSE results saw a staggering 182 pupils achieve the 5+A*-C grade threshold; this represents 68% of the cohort. This figure is 15% up on last year, and 4% better than our previous best of 64% in 2005. This now means that over two thirds of Grangefield pupils left with exam grades that gave them real choices at Post 16 level.

All the other key indicators showed improvement as well; 44% of the cohort achieved 5+A*-C grades including English and Maths (an increase of 10% on 2006) and the number of pupils achieving 5+A*-G grades rose to 96%. What is most encouraging is that no pupil left without at least one level 1 qualification.

These results reflect the hard work and commitment of the pupils, supported by their parents and the dedicated and hard-working staff of Grangefield School.
