RECORD NUMBER OF TOP A LEVEL GRADES AT

EASTBURY COMMUNITY SCHOOL

EASTBURY COMMUNITY SCHOOL CELEBRATES ANOTHER SET OF EXCELLENT A LEVEL RESULTS WITH 99% PASS RATE

Eastbury Community School is delighted to announce another successful year for Sixth Form students who have once again produced the A level and BTEC results which will enable them to go on to an outstanding range of Universities, and Higher Level & Degree Apprenticeships. Almost half of all grades achieved at A Level were at A* to B (44%) and 1 in 6 (14%) were A*/A grades. Staff and students have been working hard and these results come at the end of a very impressive year in which the school was shortlisted for two prestigious Times Educational Supplement awards in Mathematics and Science.

Many Eastbury students have received offers from Russell group universities this year. Top Universities are now getting ready to welcome students from Eastbury including the London School of Economics, Kings College London, University College London, Queen Mary’s, Manchester, Brunel, and Reading to study a range of exciting subjects (a sample of students and their courses can be found at the end of this press release). Eastbury is also extremely pleased that an increasing number of students will be progressing to Higher Level and Degree Apprenticeships, including Kirsty Milne who secured a highly competitive Engineering Apprenticeship through the University of Manchester.

Executive Head teacher, Mr. David Dickson

‘It is wonderful to hear so many success stories about students at Eastbury and across the borough. It is clear confirmation that the vast majority of young people have extremely high aspirations. I am absolutely delighted for all those who have worked hard to secure the grades needed for their chosen University, Higher Level and Degree Apprenticeships, or job. All, whatever their pathway, have made an excellent start to their careers. I am very proud of all the students and staff who have worked hard in this more challenging year for A-level exams; and I would like to thank them alongside our supportive parents, governors and local authority. It is a privilege to work with such a great staff team and enthusiastic students’

Students are very proud about their achievements

GCSE SUCCESS AT EASTBURY

COMMUNITY SCHOOL

Executive Head teacher, Mr. David Dickson said,

“I am extremely pleased that so many students at Eastbury and across the borough have achieved success. Our aspirational students and staff have risen to the challenges of the new harder exams in 2017, and the new grading systems in English and Mathematics. This is the first year of the new more challenging exams and grading system, therefore we cannot make comparisons with previous years. We are extremely pleased with the success of our students in this demanding year. 66% of our students achieved the standard pass grade 4, or better, in both English and Mathematics. More than 1 in ten (13%) of our students achieved the top grades in both English and Mathematics, with 8 achieving the new grade 9 (higher than the old A*) in Mathematics, and 6 in English Language. Shay Awoyemi, our Head boy achieved grade 9 in both English and Mathematics.

Firstly, I would like to congratulate the students who have been studying hard for the last 2 years to prepare themselves for the new, ‘O’ Level style, linear exams. I would like to thank all the staff for their hard work, professionalism and the many hours they have put in to ensure all our students are fully prepared for the rigors of the new tougher exams. I would also like to thank our caring families, Governors and Local Authority who have provided support and encouragement. It is a privilege to work with such a dedicated staff team and enthusiastic students”.

Eastbury is extremely proud of the achievements of all students. The GCSE results and progress data clearly demonstrates that students of all abilities have worked hard and made excellent progress. Some of our students have faced significant personal challenges, overcome them, and made superb progress.

Our students are now progressing to our

excellent sixth form to study A Levels, or local colleges to study more vocational courses. Staff and students have been working hard and these results come at the end of a very impressive year in which the school was shortlisted for two prestigious Times Educational Supplement awards in Mathematics and Science.

Strong performing departments include Biology (40% A*/A & 87% A*-C); Chemistry (48% A*/A & 91% A*-C); Physics (48% A*/A & 94% A*-C); English (17% Top grades & 78% Grade 4+; Mathematics (22% Top grades & 72% Grade 4+); English (20% Top grades & 71% Grade 4+); French (25% A*/A & 63% A*-C); Art (12% A*/A & 90% A*-C).

Eastbury is proud that the vast majority of students also studying vocational courses such as Hospitality and Catering, and Sport; achieved grades A*-C with many getting the top A*/A grade.

It is very difficult to get the top grades under the new system; the school is therefore especially pleased with the following students who achieved top grades in all of their GCSEs:

Dear Parents/Carers

RE: Parent View

As part of Eastbury School’s self-evaluation

process, we very much value working in

partnership with parents and carers to help us

continually enhance the quality of the

education that we provide to our students.

Parent View is an on-line questionnaire and the

main source for gathering parents’ and carers’

views about Eastbury School when it is

inspected by OFSTED.

Inspectors weigh the views of parents and

carers alongside first-hand evidence gathered

during an inspection when coming to a view

about the overall effectiveness of the school.

The link to setting up a login to review Eastbury

School can be found at:

www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk

You will be required to enter an email address

and a password before completing the

questionnaire to ensure the security of the

website. If you fill in the questionnaire for

Eastbury School more than once using the

same email address in the same academic

year, your previous entry will be overwritten.

All entries to Parent View are anonymous and

the school will not have access to any

information that can be used to identify a

respondent. If there are parents/carers who

hold different views about the school, each

person is able to complete the questionnaire

but must use a different email address.

Parent View asks parents and carers to

give their views on twelve aspects of

your child’s experience at Eastbury

School ranging from the quality of

teaching, to how well the school deals

with bullying and poor behaviour. You

are able to give your views using a four

point scale, from strongly agree to

strongly disagree.

The results of questionnaires that have

been completed are published in real

time and are available to Eastbury

School, other parents/carers and the

general public. At the end of the academic

year, the results for Eastbury School will be

frozen and a new set of results will begin. This

allows us to make comparisons between the

results from one year to another.

I very much appreciate and value the time that

you give up to feedback your views about

Eastbury School through the completion of the

questionnaire on Parent View and our other

questionnaires that we send to you. If you have

any further questions or concerns about the

process, please do not hesitate to contact

Stavey Primus on 020 8507 4528 who will be able

to help you.

If you have a day-to-day concern can you

contact your child’s form tutor or Head of Year

in the first instance, if the matter is not resolved

please then contact your child’s Senior link for

the Year group

In the rare event that your concern is not

resolved can you then contact Mrs Sharon

Collins (The school’s complaint officer for the

secondary) or Miss Wendy Jenkins (Head of the

Primary Phase) who will support you and

investigate, and make the Executive Head

Teacher Mr David Dickson aware.

I would like to thank you for all of your support in

helping the school to provide a first rate

education.

Yours sincerely

David Dickson - Executive Headteacher
