Misbourne School GCSE results: ‘I take my hat off to my staff and the children’ says head
Head Robert Preston with pupils at the school
Students have performed extremely well at The Misbourne School in Great Missenden, with 84% securing A*-C grades.
Head Robert Preston said: “I’m really pleased. We had a good year last year and we have done even better this year with an even greater set of exam results – 84% of all our students achieved five A*-C grades which is quite phenomenal.
“There are so many great individual performances. I take my hat off to my staff and the children for the work they have put in.”
The school’s achievements include the art department securing 13 A*s and six As and the photography department getting 13 A*s and nine As.
The physics department achieved five A*s and four As. the maths faculty secured five A*s and 13 As.
One pupil, Oliver Clements, got 11 A*s and three A grades.
When asked about how hard pupils such as Oliver had worked, Mr Preston said: “It’s obviously very hard to get an A but to get an A* you have to be in the top five per cent.”
The school came out of special measures earlier this year (pictured above).
