Chipping Campden School students enjoy the rewards of their hard work!

Chipping Campden School students were celebrating an impressive set of GCSE grades across a wide range of subjects, reflecting an intense period of hard work and commitment.

Following two national lockdowns and the eventual return to the classroom, students were finally able to celebrate all they have achieved despite the unprecedented period of disruption to their GCSE courses.

As an outstanding school with a track record of high performance well in excess of the national average, this year’s Chipping Campden School students were always well placed to have their efforts reflected in the grades they were awarded. Among those achieving a sweep of top grades was Harriet Poore, Ana Syme, Esme Fittes, Bonnie Dixon, Olivia Kingswood, Vienna Davies, Poppy Paylor, Emma Norrington and Henry Clarke.

In congratulating students and staff on such fantastic grades, John Sanderson, the school’s Principal, said “I’m delighted to see so many students being awarded the GCSE grades they richly deserve. They have had so much to cope with over the last two years and clearly overcame a great many challenges along the way.

Both students and staff have worked extremely hard and have every reason to feel proud of their achievements this year”. The Principal concluded his comments by adding “with such encouraging grades we are really looking forward to welcoming so many of our students, along with others from surrounding schools, back into our Sixth Form in September”.

The school’s principal, Gareth Burton, said, “I am extremely proud of all that our students have achieved in the context of a very challenging two years. So many have worked extremely hard and clearly been rewarded for their ability to adapt and maintain a sustained focus on their learning. I’m pleased that so many now have the qualifications and skills they need to go on to the next stage of their learning.” He also praised the dedication and commitment of staff who have gone above and beyond on so many occasions, as well as emphasising the support given by parents in ensuring so many students successfully navigate these very demanding times and qualifications.
