Exam and Assessment Results 2023-24

Students are dual-registered with GHES and their main school. For GCSE exams, they and are entered by their main school and the results therefore form part of the registered main school’s examination data.

The reality for most students who find themselves too unwell to attend school and are referred to GHES is that they will not be able to complete the full suite of GCSEs and their predicted targets from the home school become unrealistic, especially when there has been a prolonged period of absence from education due to their medical condition. Our standard provision for Y11 students is English Language, maths and science GCSEs, which enable students to gain the core GCSE subjects needed for their next steps. And whilst it’s not possible to show all of a young person’s achievements on a GCSE certificate, we make sure we celebrate every success a student makes, be it from actually walking out of their house, building confidence around other people, securing an apprenticeship for after Year 11, or sitting some exams.  Every student will have developed in some way during their time with GHES. 

For those students who find the rigour of the GCSE curriculum too demanding or too daunting when they become ill,  GHES offer Functional Skills qualifications, which are recognised by colleges and apprenticeships, to support those who may well end up sitting no GCSE exams and to help many build up the confidence to eventually sit GCSE exams.

Of the 34 Y11s with us in the summer term, we would wish to draw attention to the following which shows what our students can and do achieve when they are with GHES:

-          31 students sat exams in at least one GCSE subject. The 3 remaining students competed Functional Skills exams. Therefore, all students achieved qualifications whilst with us.  

-          24 students were entered and awarded GCSEs in the core suite of subjects: English, Maths and Science. 8 of these students achieved grade 4-9 in all 3 subjects.

-          5 students achieved 5 or more GCSE grades 4-9 including English and Mathematics.

-          31 students achieved GCSE Maths, of which 11 were grade 4 and above. 3 students achieved highest grades 7-9.  A further 14 Functional Skills Maths qualifications were awarded, including 3 at Level 1 (equivalent to GCSE grade 1-3).

-          27 students achieved GCSE English Language, of which 17 were grade 4 and above, including 3 at grade 8. In addition, 6 students completed full passes in Functional Skills at either Level 1 or 2 for their reading, writing and speaking. Another 11 students achieved passes in one or 2 of the components.

-          Of the 22 entries made in single award science, 8 were at least grade 4, with 4 being between grade 6 -9. In Combined Science, 9 students gained a GCSE, with 7 at or above 4,4.

-          Art GCSE was taken by 4 students, all of whom achieved grades 5 -6.

-          6 students also gained GCSE in a range of other subjects including English Literature, History, French, German, Religious Studies.

Year 11 2023/24 Destinations

For many of our students moving on from Year 11 is a significant step.  They realise that with their medical condition they might not get all of the GCSE exam results they may have set out to achieve.  What becomes more important for our students is securing the next part of their journey and what they go onto after Year 11. For some of our most vulnerable students,  we have been able to continue to offer support in September to help them make a successful transition to their next setting.

Grading of A levels, AS levels and GCSEs in summer 2021

As a result of the disruption to the education of students caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the government decided that exams could not be held in summer 2021 in a way which would perceived to be fair.  They determined that for GCSEs, AS and A levels, teachers would assess the standard at which students were performing based only on what they had been taught, and that their main school or college could determine grades based on this. Teachers’ judgements were based on a range of evidence relating to the subject content that teachers had delivered, either in the classroom or via remote learning.  Our role during this was to provide supporting evidence to the main school, and we found that the vast majority of our judgements  were agreed with.

The reality for most students who find themselves too unwell to attend school and are referred to us is that they will not be able to complete the full suite of GCSEs.  Predicted targets from their home school also become unrealistic especially when there has been a prolonged period of absence from education due to their medical condition before coming to GHES.  Despite this, we celebrate every success a student makes, be it from actually walking out of their house, building confidence around other people, securing an apprenticeship for after Year 11, or sitting some exams.  Every student will have developed in some way – it’s just not possible to show this on a GCSE certificate.  Of our Y11 cohort in 2020 - 2021, we would wish to draw attention to the following which shows students can and do achieve well when they are with GHES:

35 students were with us at the end of year when TAGs were being determined. Of these

  • 5 students achieved 5+ GCSE grades 4-9 including English and Mathematics.  With one student achieving 9 GCSEs,  all at grade 6 or above.
  • 23 students achieved GCSE Maths, of which 16 were grade 4 and above. A further 23 Functional Skills Maths qualifications were awarded, including 8 at Level 1.
  • 15 students achieved GCSE English Language, of which 12 were grade 4 and above. A further 35 Functional Skills English components were passed, including 2 complete passes at Level 2 for their reading, writing and speaking.
  • Of the 20 students taking science (either combined science or single award), 16 were grade 4 or above, of which 10 were grade 6 or above.
  • All students achieved at least one qualification in GCSE or Functional Skills whilst with us. With the vast majority of GCSE grades at a grade 4 or higher in all of the core subjects.

Year 11 2020/21 Destinations

This year, due to the extraordinary circumstance brought about by the pandemic, we have been able to continue to offer support to some of these students to help them make a successful transition to their next setting.

Grading of A levels, AS levels and GCSEs in summer 2021

As a result of the disruption to the education of students caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the government decided that exams could not be held in summer 2021 in a way which would perceived to be fair.  They determined that for GCSEs, AS and A levels, teachers would assess the standard at which students were performing based only on what they had been taught, and that their main school or college could determine grades based on this. Teachers’ judgements were based on a range of evidence relating to the subject content that teachers had delivered, either in the classroom or via remote learning.  Our role during this was to provide supporting evidence to the main school, and we found that the vast majority of our judgements  were agreed with.

The reality for most students who find themselves too unwell to attend school and are referred to us is that they will not be able to complete the full suite of GCSEs.  Predicted targets from their home school also become unrealistic especially when there has been a prolonged period of absence from education due to their medical condition before coming to GHES.  Despite this, we celebrate every success a student makes, be it from actually walking out of their house, building confidence around other people, securing an apprenticeship for after Year 11, or sitting some exams.  Every student will have developed in some way – it’s just not possible to show this on a GCSE certificate.  Of our Y11 cohort in 2020 - 2021, we would wish to draw attention to the following which shows students can and do achieve well when they are with GHES:

35 students were with us at the end of year when TAGs were being determined. Of these

  • 5 students achieved 5+ GCSE grades 4-9 including English and Mathematics.  With one student achieving 9 GCSEs,  all at grade 6 or above.
  • 23 students achieved GCSE Maths, of which 16 were grade 4 and above. A further 23 Functional Skills Maths qualifications were awarded, including 8 at Level 1.
  • 15 students achieved GCSE English Language, of which 12 were grade 4 and above. A further 35 Functional Skills English components were passed, including 2 complete passes at Level 2 for their reading, writing and speaking.
  • Of the 20 students taking science (either combined science or single award), 16 were grade 4 or above, of which 10 were grade 6 or above.
  • All students achieved at least one qualification in GCSE or Functional Skills whilst with us. With the vast majority of GCSE grades at a grade 4 or higher in all of the core subjects.

Year 11 2020/21 Destinations

For many of our students moving on from Year 11 is a significant step.  They realise that with their medical condition they might not get all of the GCSE exam results they may have set out to achieve.  What becomes more important for our students is securing the next part of their journey and what they go onto after Year 11. This year, due to the extraordinary circumstance brought about by the pandemic, we have been able to continue to offer support to some of these students to help them make a successful transition to their next setting.

Grading of A levels, AS levels and GCSEs in summer 2020

No exams took place in summer 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. To enable students to receive qualifications, it was announced that students who were due to sit A level, AS level or GCSE exams this summer would receive a calculated grade. For each student, schools and colleges have provided a centre assessment grade for each subject; this is the grade their school or college believes they would be most likely to have achieved had exams gone ahead, taking into account a range of evidence including, for example, non-exam assessment and mock results. This grade was intended to be put through a process of standardisation, using a model developed with Ofqual, to arrive at the final calculated grade.

On Monday 17 August, Ofqual confirmed that there no longer would be a standardisation process for AS and A levels or GCSEs and instead all students will be awarded the centre assessment grade submitted by their school or college, unless it is lower than their calculated grade in which case the calculated grade will stand. Unless there is evidence that a processing error has been made, these grades will be final.

Students will be able to use the grades they receive in the summer to move on to their next step.

Pupils are dual-registered with GHES and their home-school and are entered for exams through their home school. The exam results therefore form part of the registered home-school’s published examination data.

Key Stage 4 Summary

GHES has supported pupils from every secondary school in Gloucestershire, helping pupils to achieve positive outcomes including many excellent examination results and other accreditations. GHES track pupil progress and outcomes for all our pupils.

  • Our priority for all students is to get a good grade in Maths and English followed by as many other GCSEs or Functional Skills qualifications.
  • This year 32/35 students were entered for and awarded at least one GCSE grade, whilst 16 of these students gained 5 or more GCSEs grades.
  • 29 students were entered for GCSE Maths; 64% of them met their target grade, whilst 21% exceeded it – fantastic!
  • Of the 28 students entered for GCSE English language, an impressive 89% met or exceeded their target grade. There is also a high expectation on students to sit both English exams; 19 of these 28 students were also entered for Literature, with 85% meeting or exceeding their target grade
  • For the Sciences, 22 students gained a GCSE in at least one or more Science exam (this could be for the Combined Science award or Separate Sciences). Of these, 81% met or exceeded their target grades.

Many students find the rigour of the GCSE curriculum too demanding or too daunting when they become ill. We offer Functional Skills qualifications to support those who may well end up with no GCSEs  and to help many build up the confidence to sit GCSE exams at the end of Year 11.  Whilst these do not count in a main stream school’s results they are recognised by colleges and apprenticeships, and so we find these are a valuable level of qualification to offer our students where appropriate.  To note:

  • 20 students were able to gain one or more Functional Skills qualification;
  • Of these, 19 students gained a qualification in Maths. 15 of the 19 also went on to achieve a GCSE grade in Maths, with 11/15 awarded at least a GCSE grade 3  
  • 8 students gained a qualification in English, with 6 achieving their Level1 in both reading and writing.
