GCSE results 2018: headlines

 

Parklands High School is delighted with yet another year of improved GCSE results.  Headteacher, Steve Mitchell, believes this is thanks to the extremely hard working staff, supportive parents and carers but above all thanks to the dedication and commitment of our students.  “It is wonderful to see so many fantastic results in light of all the curriculum changes. Our students have deservedly achieved many outstanding grades, which will ensure they are able to successfully embark on their next stage at college or work.  I am extremely proud of all our students’ achievements, regardless of their academic ability, and there is so much to celebrate, from students achieving a swathe of grade 9s to those achieving grades 3 or 4 which is above their targets.”
