GCSE Results Day

Barking Abbey is celebrating another set of record results! After exceptional A Level results last week, we have achieved our highest ever percentage of Strong Passes in English and Maths (5+). In addition, more than one-quarter of Maths GCSE Grades were awarded 7 or above for the first time.

Over 100 Grade 9s were achieved, and over 600 Grades 9 to 7. Individual students are celebrating simply remarkable results. Chabane achieved a full house of 9 Grade 9s; and Manmeet achieved 8 Grade 9s. At Barking Abbey we have always been proud of the work we do for our vulnerable, SEND and ARP students and so are so pleased to report our best ever results for these pupils in all headline measures. A quarter of our SEND pupils gained a Strong pass in English and Maths which is simply astonishing. Additionally, we have closed our disadvantaged gap to less than 10% at all levels.

Tony Roe, Headteacher said: "As always this has been a massive team effort starting in year 7. They have been a great year group and have had the benefit of outstanding teaching every step of the way. We are particularly pleased with the record performance of our SEND students and the work we have done to almost close the gap for our vulnerable students. We are looking forward to enrolling record numbers into our amazingly successful, heavily oversubscribed sixth form later today.”
