School posts record GCSE results
26 Aug 2010
Students at Community Links’ school for young people excluded from mainstream education notched up record GCSE results this year, with a 93% A-G pass rate, including a 100% pass rate in English.
A total of 14 students took 43 exams, which is both a record for the number of exams entered, and a pass rate 2% higher than last year.
Head Teacher Sandy Davies said: “We’re delighted to see our students achieving such good results, particularly given their often difficult circumstances. The success is a testament to their hard work this year – we’re very proud of them and believe they all have the potential to go on and achieve great things.”
Education Links is Newham’s newest independent school, providing an alternative education for students not in mainstream schools. It caters for over 100 students aged 12 to 16 each year, and last year saw 97% of its students go on to further education, training, or a job.
