Highclare Sixth Form Trip to London

Posted: 20th December 2017

On Thursday 14th December Highclare Sixth form pupils set off on their annual trip to London bright and early.

First stop was the Shard, standing 310 metres (1,020 feet) high, the tallest building in the United Kingdom. We all enjoyed the panoramic views of London and beyond from the top.

Once back down from the top, we then headed off for lunch at Planet Hollywood in Leicester Square, before a brief stroll through the bustling streets of London led us to the Novello Theatre, and the matinee performance of Mamma Mia.

We all enjoyed singing and dancing in the isles to the many memorable songs of the show. After free time around Covent Garden we headed off back to Euston for our journey back to Birmingham. Everyone had a fantastic day.

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).
