Out Of This World At The National Space Centre

Posted: 8th April 2019

The U5 triple science group and U6 physics pupils recently visited the National Space Centre, Leicester, to reinforce their syllabus content outside of the classroom. During the trip, as well as exploring the exhibits, pupils participated in a 1hr workshop with the Space academy looking at the life and death of stars.

Pupils then watched a film in the Planetarium, a full 360º fulldome cinema experience and the largest of it’s kind in the UK, about the affect being in Space has on the human body. It was an interesting and rewarding day for all involved.

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).
