Swavesey Village College – GCSE results
2023 School performance tables – SVC details
There is much to celebrate at Swavesey Village College as students enjoy another year of fantastic GCSE results.
Headteacher, Jim Stavrou, said: “The students this year have been an absolute delight to work with. The support they have given to one another during this exam period has been inspiring and is reflected in the excellent set of results received today. Each student deserves to feel immensely proud of their achievements and efforts.”
“My thanks go out to our team of teachers and wider school staff who have worked tirelessly to help guide each student through their exams. Thank you also to the parents and carers of the Year 11 students who have supported and encouraged them during this exam period.”
The College’s highest achieving student was Thomas Richards, who achieved ten grade 9s and two grade 8s.
Sashily Iu, Edward Jennings and Christopher Edmond all achieved ten grade 9s with their remaining grades at grades 8 or 7.
Alongside excellent success in the core subjects of English, Maths and Science we have been particularly impressed with the performance of students studying Art, Child Development, Hair and Beauty, Health and Social Care, Geography, Photography and Sport.
This excellent set of results caps off an exciting year for the College, which was recently praised by Ofsted inspectors for its “high ambitions for all.”
We are proud of the guarantee of personal achievement that we are able to offer. Our academic record is excellent. Our GCSE results are consistently amongst the best of Cambridgeshire state schools, and this year once again were well above national averages. This year 80% of our Year 11 pupils left us with grades 4 or above in both English and Maths. Also, our percentage of pupils achieving the English Baccalaureate (achieving passes in English, Maths, Sciences, a Language and a Humanities subject) is 43%, and 35% of all grades awarded at SVC were at grades 7-9.
Not only do we measure our success by these standards, but we are equally proud of the fact that all our students undertake a wide range of appropriate and challenging courses and qualifications and we welcome the significant achievement of learners which is not always recognised in Government league tables.
Our success can also be measured by the achievements of our students as they move on from Swavesey to Further and Higher Education: 100% of our students go on to Further Education or Apprenticeships.
