Malden Oaks students performed extremely well in what was forecast to be a challenging year, with pandemic adjustments no longer in place

The breadth of the curriculum offer was reflected in GCSE passes in 18 different subjects.

Of particular note were the 6  and 7 grades in English Language, Maths & English Literature.

A number of students did extremely well to gain GCSE passes, having joined us late in their educational journey and/or having missed out on learning for months or years in previous settings.  Achievements are relative to each individual’s starting point, and so all progress should be celebrated. For some students, even sitting a GCSE exam was unimaginable a year ago.  

The full list of qualifications gained is shown below:

In our new sixth form provision, 6 Oaks, A/S grades were achieved in Biology, German & Spanish

A number of 6 Oaks students also achieved GCSE qualification in their first year of sixth form and will now move onto an A level pathway.
