GCSE results: Felpham Community College Students achieve record top grades

The proportion of students who grade 4-9 in English Language was 73 per cent, in English Literature, 77 per cent of students passed, and in Maths, 71 per cent of students passed.

With these results in tow, many students can move on to their chosen post-16 pathway, whether that be college, a sixth form, or an apprenticeship. Like students who received their A-Level results last week, this year’s cohort were directly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. A spokesperson for Felpham Community College said the stellar outcomes reflects students’ hard work, and the specialist support of teachers and school governors.

Headteacher Mark Anstiss said: “‘We are extremely pleased with all of our students’ achievements today. Obtaining these results, after a disrupted two years, takes hard work, commitment and resilience. It’s inevitably a stressful time for students and we are very proud with how they have coped.

"These great results provide our Year 11s with an opportunity to now move on to Felpham Sixth Form and provide a

firm foundation for work or university in the future. Staff and students have worked incredibly hard. I would also like to thank our parents and the school governors for their support and commitment to our school.”
