Big Battery Hunt Summer 2019

Posted: 23rd May 2019

The Big Battery Hunt is now on! Last year, as part of a nationwide battery recycling initiative funded by Duracell, over 4 million batteries were recycled and Highclare School want to be a part of this.

Battery collection points can be found in the reception areas across all three Highclare School locations. Search drawers and cupboards as we will be collecting used AA, AAA, C and D batteries until the 14 June.

We hope this initiative encourages pupils to think about the importance of recycling, and they enjoy the challenge to collect as many used batteries as possible. The aim is for each pupil to contribute to an overall national total and help the Big Battery Hunt beat the amount collected last year!

 

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).
