National Coding Week

Posted: 18th September 2018

It’s National Coding Week this week! This makes it sound like students are only coding for one week of the year! In fact at Highclare students learn to code across all year groups as it is such an important skill for our students to learn! An example of this is the U4 Website Design Project.  Students are currently designing their own website using Dreamweaver and learning how to use CSS to control the layout of their webpages all at once. They are coming up with some fantastic designs!

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).
