• Amazing Language AQA exam results
  Well done to Kim who achieved an A* grade in her French GCSE. The AQA examination board have informed us that Kim's result was in the top 5 out of 138,508 candidates nationally. Overall, Moorland pupils achieved 4 A*,4 A and 3B grades in GCSE languages (covering only 16 entries). Well done to Rhesia who passed both German and French at grade A. Well done to Aaron who achieved an A* grade in GCSE German (taken in year 8) and Emma who achieved an A* grade in GCSE French (taken in year 10).

The 93% figure (with a non-selective entry) is up from 67% in 2004. Please note that the 93% figure compares to a national figure of 61%. Please also note that our extremely high 93% figure was not boosted by multiple vocational qualifications which many state schools are using to artificially enhance their results thus lessening the importance of the core subjects................

2006 Results???

My prediction for the 2006 GCSE results is 100% (5 A*-C). 2006 will be an exciting year with some excellent new staff joining the senior school. Our year 11, who return in September, have all worked really hard throughout the last year. 2007 and 2008 will see the numbers entered for GCSE rising to well over 30; again the target is 100% (5 A*-C).

Academic work at Moorland has always been performed at a high standard, our children are never allowed to stand still. They are encouraged to work to the full extent of their abilities and our teachers are all caring professionals. Moorland is a growing and progressive school which celebrates the individual. Talents are recognised and developed to the full.
