GCSE Results - Congratulations to our class of 2020!

Hillside’s class of 2020 have achieved exceptional results that truly reflect their talents, hard work and commitment, despite the difficult end to their school days.

There were outstanding individual performances, including Yi Ning Weng Mei, who achieved ten grade 9s! Grace Scott and Stephen Lawler both achieved five grade 9s and three grade 8s. Faye Vaughan-Hardy achieved two grade 9s and four grade 8s!

A third of Hillside pupils achieved at least one of the top grades across their subjects, with 76 grade 9s and 8s achieved overall.

Across the curriculum there have been some excellent results. In the separate sciences, over 93% of pupils achieved 9-4 grades. Performance in English and Maths continues to improve and results at 9-4 in Art, Business Studies, Computer Science, Media, Dance, Physical Education and Retail Business all exceeded 80% - representing excellence across the curriculum.

Principal Amanda Ryan said “We are extremely proud of the results our young people have achieved despite the difficulties this year has thrown at them. Their hard work and efforts coupled with the support of parents and teachers has allowed them to achieve results to help them make their next steps in learning. It has been my absolute pleasure to have known and worked with these fantastic young people. We as a school are proud of their successes and wish them all of the best as they pursue new courses in the future.”
