Telford College is celebrating another excellent set of GCSE results today, with English language high grades reaching their best level in five years.
There was also a significant increase in maths high grades (9-4), which were up nearly 5% on the previous year.
“These are absolutely fantastic results, reflecting all of the hard work from our students and staff. We are very proud of them,” said Christine Pemberton, the college’s vice principal for curriculum.
“Maths and English are so important, not just for our 16-19 students because they open up pathways to an incredibly broad range of courses and job opportunities, but also for our many adult learners who are now able to further develop their careers.
“We strive to offer adult learners flexible ways for them to improve their English and maths and we are delighted that so many have been successful.”
She added: “We look forward to seeing many of these students now progressing with us onto A levels, apprenticeships, or our range of T-Levels and vocational courses which we are expanding even further in September.”
Lauren Watwood was particularly delighted with her grade 8 in English language. “I’m really happy. I’m going to carry on my education and look to go to university. I’d really like to go into teaching, at either a primary or secondary school.”
Ella Caldecott said she was ‘very pleased’ to have passed her GCSE maths, and is coming back in September to finish a level three diploma in childcare and education.
Enrolment is now under way at Telford College for the 2024-25 academic year, and staff are on hand to discuss progression opportunities with GCSE students, and explain the range of opportunities available.
