U3 Investigate Reactions

Posted: 18th June 2019

U3 enjoyed a morning of science experiments investigating practically what happens when an acid reacts with a base or a metal. Students predicted what the product of the experiment would be using scientific knowledge and will present their observations and data using tables.

Chemicals and Bunsen burners were used with respect and students safely discovered that a ‘salt’ is formed.

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).
