At Howell’s this morning, as students collected their GCSE results, one message could be heard loud and clear: Howell's girls are at home in the lab.
An incredible 88% of all science entries were graded 9- 8 (the equivalent of an A*). In Biology, 92% of all results were level 9-8, in Chemistry, 88% were level 9-8, and in Physics 83%.
Across the board, results were excellent. In total, 64 students sat GCSEs at school this year, and an impressive 53% of all GCSE grades were at Level 9 & 8 or A*, with a combined Level 9, 8, 7/A*- A rate of 75%. 90% of all grades were at Level 9,8,7,6/A*-B.
To see so many girls not just meeting their predicted grades but exceeding them so confidently is fantastic. Students at Howell's have multiple strengths and interests, and on top of their academic ambitions, many of them perform at national level in sport, music and drama. It’s the hard work and dedication of the girls, our staff and the parents that enable them to excel academically and beyond. Well done, everyone!
