Junior English Creative Writing Competition

Posted: 18th September 2020

We are excited to launch the annual Highclare Junior English Creative Writing Competition

The Highclare Senior School English department, invites all potential authors in Yr3 to Yr6 to take part in our exciting creative writing competition.

This year we would like students to write a poem about a significant person from the BAME community. Pupils should start by researching a significant figure that many people may not be aware of.

Full details and entry form can be found on the Creative Writing Competition 2020 Poster

Please send your piece of creative writing to Highclare School at the school’s address to arrive no later than Friday 16 October 2020. Entries should be submitted using the entry form.

 

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).
