Triumph for Chulmleigh College GCSE pupils

Chulmleigh College’s 2023 GCSE results speak for themselves; 'yet another triumph for our children and their families'. Overwhelmingly, Chulmleigh's pupils have worked extremely hard over the last five years and deserve their incredible achievements.

Chulmleigh pupils achieved 0.6 of a grade higher than the national average, per subject, based on their starting levels in secondary school. 61% gained the very demanding EBacc standard. 84% passed English and Maths and 26% of all grades were the very high 7-9.

Sophie, Alicia, Ben and Ben M were delighted with their results. Sophie achieved the grades she needed to go on to Exeter Maths School to study, Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry; Alicia was delighted to get 7s for both English Language and Literature, and a 9 in History and will be studying A Levels in Photography, French and Textiles; Ben will be studying Aerospace Engineering, and was over the moon with his 8 for English Literature, and Ben M was thrilled with all of his results, particularly the 6 in English, after struggling with mock exams earlier in the year – he will be studying Sport and Fitness.

Executive Headteacher Michael Johnson said: “We would like to thank the more than 20 primary schools who provided us with such a wonderful year group. I would like to particularly thank colleagues, directors, and parents for working without pause and stepping up to the mark. Yes, it was a tough year, but when the going got tough, you certainly got going. You all lived up to our values of ‘Compassion, Ambition and Teamwork’, and I thank everyone for backing our pupils so strongly to achieve this.”
