SATs v Year 9 produced the best ever Science results with 69% of our students achieving level 5+ and above v Our Mathematics results have gone from strength to strength with 71% of students achieving level 6+ and 46 students achieving level 6 and above v The English department’s level 5 and above score has risen by 7% from last year v These results provide our Year 9 students who have moved into Key Stage 4, with an excellent foundation for their GCSE courses. Well done. GCSEs v Our GCSE results are the best yet in the school’s history surpassing our target v 52% of our students achieved 5+ A*-C, an 8% increase from last year’s result v Our 5+ A*-C scores, including English and Maths were 43% which again surpasses our targets and places us in the top 25% of similar schools. Many of our students will be returning to our Sixth Form. ‘A’ Levels v The Sixth Form has continued to go from strength to strength achieving the following results: o A - E Grades 96% o A - C Grades 74% o A/B Grades 51% v These results have allowed the majority of our Sixth formers to secure places at top universities. 3 students have also achieved places at Oxford and Cambridge which is a major achievement. Our success this year has all been due to the hard work and commitment of our students and the positive partnership which exists between home and school. Thank you for your support. It is clear from these results that Elliott is living out its school motto - ‘We Aspire to Excellence’.

Two of our teachers, Mr Peter Jones and Miss Sinead Gooden, have just returned from visiting the school in Kenya, and teachers from Kenya have also just visited Elliott School. The visit was to establish a partnership agreement, exchange and share ideas on education, curriculum and teaching and learning. The two schools are working together on a shared curriculum project on development and environmental issues with a focus on the global dimension and sustainable development. They are also working on a development plan to raise the achievement of female learners through peer mentoring. Comments from teachers and students - Ms Purity Muthone, Head teacher of Ndagani School: “The students in Elliott School are very active in their learning and this is something we want to develop in our school”. Mr John Nkari, Maths teacher of Ndagani school: “We have learnt much from our partner school in terms of learning strategies. We now need to make sure that this feeds into our curriculum”. Mr Peter Jones, Head of Geography at Elliott: “The visits have enabled a strong partnership to be developed where we will jointly develop strategies for learning and the curriculum…this is the beginning of a long and fruitful journey”. Miss Sinead Gooden, Maths teacher at Elliott: “I was amazed by the self motivation of students and the value held for education by all, despite very challenging circumstances”. Student at Ndagani school (after being taught a lesson by Miss Gooden): “I very much enjoyed the lesson, we were doing something all of the time” Student at Elliott school: “I want to visit Kenya!” |
