Gumley House amongst the most improved schools in the country
Government figures recently published today show in continued improvement in results in the borough's secondary schools.
The figures from the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) show that, for the first time, more than sixty per cent (63.1% per cent) of Hounslow secondary school students achieved at least 5 of more A*-C GCSEs - 10 per cent higher than 2 years ago.
More than half of students (50.9 per cent) achieved five A*-C GCSE passes that included English and maths, a rise of more than 10 per cent over the last 4 years.
Local schools have beaten the national average in all the key measures used to assess performance, including:
· 63.1 per cent of students achieved five or more GCSE’s or equivalent grades A*-C, compared to 59.2 per cent nationally;
· 50.9 per cent of students achieved five or more GCSE’s or equivalent grades A*-C including Maths and English, compared to 45.8 per cent nationally;
· the average points score per pupil was 381.6, compared to 365.0 nationally, meaning that Hounslow students achieve approximately 3 grades more than the national average;
· Gumley House RC Convent School and The Heathland School were among the 100 most improved schools in the country for the number of students who receive 5 of more GCSE’s A*-C including English and maths
Cllr Robert Kinghorn, Executive Member for Education and Children, said, “We are immensely proud of the achievements our schools are making, and these tables help show the excellent progress made in recent years. These results show that the number of young people leaving school with good qualifications in the borough is the highest ever. The success of our schools is down to the hard work of everyone involved in education in Hounslow - students, teachers, classroom assistants, heads, parents, and officers here in the council."
