Preparatory School Watercolour Club

Posted: 26th November 2019

Highclare Preparatory School pupils have been working hard perfecting their watercolour painting skills during their weekly watercolour club.

Pupils have been using a template to create the watercolour image on Christmas cards, then decorated them.

Pupils are now creating intricate Christmas pictures with fine brushes to hone their skills.

This term they have also painted sunsets with silhouettes, crayon resist watercolour firework pictures and watercolour salt art!

 

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).
