'Splendid' results signify more success at Stockport Grammar

Stockport Grammar School is celebrating another successful set of GCSE results, to follow up its impressive A-Level results last week. 

The Buxton Road school - which has a number of students who live in the High Peak and Tameside - report that 76 per cent of its students received grades 9, 8 and 7, while 27 per cent of its grades are at the top mark of 9. 

Dr Paul Owen, Headmaster, said: "I am delighted by the success of our talented pupils which has given them an excellent foundation for further study.  These splendid results reflect the hard work of pupils and teachers over a considerable period of time and I am so proud of the pupils’ determination and resilience over the last few months. We look forward to welcoming back the large majority of our pupils into the Sixth Form at SGS." 

Amongst the pupils receiving their results was Isabel Marshall, who is delighted with straight 9s across all her 10 subjects. For Isabel, her "always very positive" friends were a great highlight of her time at the school. A-Levels in Maths, Physics, Psychology and Geography will follow at the school's Sixth Form and keen climber Isabel also plans to take on the challenge of the Duke of Edinburgh Gold award.

Joseph Farrelly said he is "really pleased and feeling happy" with his eleven GCSEs, including seven 9s, three 8s and a 7. He says “so many teachers have inspired me at SGS, it’s been great”. Joseph said he's looking forward to studying his A Levels in English Literature, History, Maths and Economics at the school's Sixth Form. He was involved in lots of sport during his time at the school – namely athletics, basketball, table tennis, swimming, climbing and football. Remote co-curricular activities during lockdown brought different opportunities with a Shakespeare drama project.

Isobel Gardner said she was "very happy" with her 11 GCSEs, with nine 9s and two 8s including Greek which she took as a co-curricular GCSE. She enjoys gardening club, eco-schools, school council and debates. Isobel added: "The teachers really care and put in the extra time to help you and there are lots of activities to get involved in". She's looking forward to taking her A-Levels in Latin, Maths, Chemistry and Biology and will be staying on at the school's Sixth Form. 

Adam Murray was also "really happy" with his four 9s, three 8s, a 7 and a 6. He's looking forward to starting new subjects at the school's Sixth Form – Philosophy, Psychology, Economics and Business. His school highlights include performing in plays like ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and kayaking on the school trip to France, as well as “having a really good group of friends that it’s good to spend time with”.
