York High School: ‘This fantastic group of students have succeeded – despite all of the obstacles that they have faced’

York High School give their congratulations to their Year 11 students for a ‘fantastic’ set of GSCE results.

Headteacher Rob Sims said, “This fantastic group of students have succeeded despite all of the obstacles that they have faced over the last 18 months.

Many will say that these results are worth less than “normal examinations” . We believe the opposite that after all of the disruption caused by the pandemic these grades are worth more.

Sam Holland and Oscar Dewire need a specific mention for achieving a grade 9 in 8 subjects. 

Students are given a GCSE forecast nationally based on their Sat results at the end of primary school. The following three girls achieved over 2 grades higher than they were predicted, congratulations to Georgia Linsey Bessent, Millie Hunt and Rio Bailey.”
