Castlebrook High School has yet again seen record-breaking grades as this year's GCSE examination results are published. Head teacher Tony Roberts celebrated the best results in the school's history. He said that for the third time in the last four years the school has broken its own record and stated, "Castlebrook has made great strides forward as 76% of Year 11 students achieved 5 or more grades A*-C in their recent GCSE examinations - a phenomenal 15% improvement on last year's results. A record breaking 56% gained the Government's new ‘gold standard' of 5 or more grades A*-C including English and Maths - again an excellent achievement far exceeding the school's target with an 11% increase on 2008 results."

Over 94% of students achieved 5 or more A* to G grades and every Castlebrook student has achieved at least one GSCE grade - reflecting the school's commitment to the progress and success of all students and aspiring to the school's motto of achieving ‘The Best for All'

Some notable results include Amy Fielder and Kamo Kupi with 8 A* grades, Ben Roberts 6 A* and 5 A grades, Andrew Gregoriou - recently elected UK Youth Parliament member and David Meehan with 5 A* and 6 A grades.

The record breaking news follows hard on the heels of the school's recent Best School's award for gaining the highest grades in GCSE ‘Construction and the Built Environment' in the whole of the country.

"The strong results across the board this year have been absolutely fantastic", said the Head. He added: "Once again we are delighted with the outcomes for all our learners - the vast majority of whom will now be able to go on to take up the course of their choice at college while others will embark upon their intended career. These results reflect the persistent hard work of the students, the great dedication of staff and the support of parents and family as part of the sustained drive to achieve the very highest standards at Castlebrook High School. We are extremely proud of the achievements of all our students and wish them every success with their future plans."
