Celebrating Burns Night at Highclare School

Posted: 25th January 2017

A large group of parents, friends and members of the African Space Trust, joined teachers and governors at Highclare School to mark the annual Scottish celebration of the anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth and to raise funds for our school charity African Space Trust.

The hall was decked with tartan and Wilson Vale provided the catering which included haggis, mashed neeps and tatties and strawberry shortbread.

The haggis was piped in and once the speeches were over, everyone took to the dance floor and enjoyed dancing to a live Ceilidh band.

GCSE Results

This year Highclare students have once again produced outstanding GCSE results.  Nearly one third of all grades were at the highest level of 7 and above and our overall pass rate was 92%, all of which are significantly above the national figures of 22% and 68% respectively.

Half of all grades were 6 and above and 98% of our full-time students achieved 5 of more GCSE passes. Having scored particularly excellent grades in Science and Maths, we are welcoming 4 students onto our Pre-Med scholarship program, designed to support students with medicine-related university applications.

Nearly 10% of our cohort have achieved 8 or more GCSEs at the top grades of 7 or above (or 35% achieved 7 or more GCSEs at the top grades of 6 or above).
