A Level Results
The Government’s performance tables for schools and colleges can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/school-performance-tables
Due to the way that grades were awarded during the COVID-19 pandemic, qualification results achieved between January 2020 and August 2021, by students included in 2021 measures, are not included in the calculations. This has had an impact on the results for this school, and the Education Department recommended that comparisons are not made with data from previous years, or directly with other providers. Comparisons to the local and national average should be made with caution.
The government advises that school and college performance data for the 2022/2023 academic year should be used with caution:
- In 2022/23, qualifications returned to pre-pandemic standards. Performance measures that are based on qualification results will reflect this, and cannot be directly compared to measures from 2021/2022.
- There are ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected individual schools, colleges and pupils differently.
Gov.UK have not produced progress (value-added) measures at 16-18 this year as they would need to use grades achieved between January 2020 and August 2021 to do this. 16-18 progress measures will return from 2023/24.
2023 Results
JMHS Year 13 students achieve consistently good A Level results
The 2023 Examinations were the first set of papers with no adjustment made for the COVID 19 Pandemic since 2019.
Year 13 students at John Masefield High School received consistently strong A Level results. The pass rate for A Levels was 99.2% and over three quarters of examination entries resulted in grade C or higher.
On the back of these results the vast majority of students will go on to their first- choice universities and can be extremely proud of how well they have achieved.
A Level subject highlights include:
- Of the 24 candidates for mathematics, 11 students achieved A* or A grades
- All three candidates achieved an A grade in German
- In each of English Literature, Extended Project Qualification, Physics and Psychology at least two thirds of candidates achieved A and B grades
Results in vocational qualifications are even stronger. Of the 37 entries, more than half of the candidates achieved the top grade of a starred distinction, 95% achieved merits or higher grades and the pass rate was 100%. All subjects had strong results, but IT where there were 15 students achieving starred distinctions was exceptional
Andrew Evans, Headteacher, said ‘Students worked hard, showed initiative and were taught by skilful and dedicated teachers. They thoroughly deserve the good results they achieved and I would like to wish all our Year 13 students health, happiness and success in the next phase of their lives.’
