Our Best Ever Results
We are delighted to report this year on our best ever Key Stage 4 / GCSE Examination results, which put John Mason as the highest achieving state school in Abingdon. 71.3% of our students achieved 5 or more GCSE passes at A*-C, an increase of over 12% on last year’s headline figure, with 66% of students achieving 5A*-C including English and Maths (an increase of 18% on last year).
These results continue the soaring trend at John Mason School, with an increase in the number of students achieving 5A*-C rising from 50% in 2006 to today’s figure of 71.3%. Similarly, the number achieving 5A*-C with English and Maths has risen sharply from 45%, to 66%, exceeding our challenging FFTD target by 8%. This puts us in the top 25% of schools nationally.
We have also exceeded our challenging target for the number of students achieving 3 or more A* and A grades (28%).
We wish to congratulate all of our students on their achievements. Behind these excellent results sits a tremendous amount of hard work, commitment and dedication from students, their families and the teaching and support staff at John Mason. I have every confidence that these high standards and expectations are set to continue and lead John Mason on to become an outstanding learning school.
