RENDCOMB College pupils received their GCSE results today, and nearly half of all results were A*s and As.

This continues the school's track record of improving GCSE results year on year for the last four years.

On individual subjects, 85 per cent of pupils gained an A* or A in French while more than three quarters achieved the top grades in German.

90 per cent of musicians received an A* or A, and for computing students, the figure was 55 per cent.

Headmaster Rob Jones said: “I am very pleased with today’s results as they reflect how our focus on each individual, and their character, sees them achieve both in and out of the classroom.

"Our Sixth Form this year is set to be stronger than ever and I am looking forward to following our pupils’ progress in their final two years at Rendcomb College.”
