Chulmleigh College achieves the gold standard once again

The Department of Education has released this year's school comparison table and the team at Chulmleigh College are 'overjoyed to be first in the county for the GCSE EBacc score'.

84% of pupils were entered for the gold standard Ebacc, and achieved an average point score of 5.24. These subjects are considered essential to many degrees and open up lots of doors.

Executive headteacher, Michael Johnson said: “Ex-pupil Christian Rushbrooke, who is now a film maker, kindly offered his time to take the photos to celebrate our pupils’ amazing achievements. He came up with the idea to combine a celebration of our GCSE results by showing the enthusiasm of the pupils who have just joined us. Year 7’s photo message to the Year 11 class of 2023 is a joy to watch and we all salute the pupils who achieved this. This was all the more remarkable because they did not allow pandemic disruption to get in their way. Some of the results achieved are not only the best in the county, but the best in the region too.

“We are also delighted and impressed with the start Year 7 have made at the College, and they deserve so much credit for their positive can-do approach. It’s great to see them celebrate like this. It is amazing to see such resilience in a group of 153 11-year-olds from 27 primaries. They really are determined to give their best.”
