STATE SCHOOL STUDENTS IN HACKNEY CONTINUE TO DEFY EXPECTATIONS WITH TOP GCSE RESULTS

++ MOSSBOURNE COMMUNITY ACADEMY CELEBRATES GLOWING RESULTS ++

++ 20% of all grades awarded were grade 9 ++

Students and staff at Mossbourne Community Academy are thrilled to be celebrating outstanding GCSE results, once again.

The GCSE results achieved by pupils at Mossbourne Community Academy are particularly impressive as this is the first year that grading has returned to pre-pandemic standards. The results are achieved due to outstanding teaching and learning and the hard work of students and staff.

Across the board, MCA’s year 11 class of 2023 achieved:

• 20% of all grades awarded were grade 9
• 36% of all grades awarded were  grade 7 or higher
• 81% of all grades awarded were grade 5 or higher

Many pupils obtained 12 GCSEs and a total of 11 students achieved a perfect Average Point Score of 9.

Just some of the many outstanding results include:

• Farhan Mirza today celebrated having 13 GCSEs, 12 of which were awarded a grade 9 and one at grade 8.
• Mossbourne Rower, Alexander Chapman, who was part of the team which won a silver medal in the Nationals also excelled in the classroom and achieved nine grade 9s and two grade 8s.
• Lola Mai O’Brian was equally jubilant when she opened her brown envelope to learn that she achieved eleven GCSEs at grade 9 and one at grade 8.

Rebecca Warren, Principal of Mossbourne Community Academy, said:

“Well done to year 11! Hard work pays off and we are so proud of our students. We have a strong track record with results and we continue to strive for excellence every year; we never take anything for granted and our pupils thrive in a culture of aspirational achievement – they have reached for the stars and are enjoying the fruits of their hard work, today.

“We can’t wait to see what our students go on to achieve in sixth form and beyond.

“I also want to thank all our staff and parents and carers for their support. Congratulations, everyone!”

Peter Hughes, CEO of the Mossbourne Federation, said:

“Well done to all Mossbourne Community Academy students and thank you to all students, staff, parents, carers and the wider community for their commitment to supporting Mossbourne’s mission and values.

“Together, we continue to redefine what it is possible to achieve at a non-selective, inner-city state school and encourage our students to look ahead to their futures without any limits on their aspirations.”

Schools Minister, Nick Gibb said:

“Pupils receiving their results in Mossbourne Community Academy, and across the country, should feel very proud today. I want to congratulate them all and express my gratitude to all of the teachers and leaders who have helped them on the way.

“GCSEs are a milestone in any young person’s life, and pupils collecting results today have the opportunity to progress onto one of many high-quality options including A levels, T Levels and hundreds of apprenticeship routes. I wish them all the best whatever they decide to do.”
