Myton students achieve GCSE results well above national averages
Myton School is celebrating another year of "exceptional" GCSE results, with students once again achieving significantly stronger outcomes than their peers nationally.
This year's results mark a particularly significant milestone for the school, with Myton achieving its best-ever performance in GCSE English and mathematics at Grade 5 and above. More than 60% of students attained a Grade 5 or higher in both English and Maths, representing an outstanding achievement and reflecting the hard work, resilience and ambition of students and staff alike.
The success extends across the cohort, with students achieving an impressive Attainment 8 score of above 50, meaning that, on average, Myton students attained the equivalent of a Grade 5 across their GCSE subjects.
Exceptional Individual Achievement
Among the highest-performing students this year were Adam Greenberg (6 grade 9s and 3 grade 8s), George Guest (6 Grade 9s and 3 Grade 8s) and Mia Taplin (6 Grade 9s and 2 Grade 8s). Particular congratulations also go to David Butnariu and Teresa Romy, each of whom achieved Grades 7-9 in all nine subjects studied, an outstanding accomplishment demonstrating exceptional dedication and academic excellence.
Record Number of Top Grades
This year, Myton students achieved a remarkable 109 Grade 9s in total. Grade 9 is awarded only to the highest-performing students nationally, with typically around 5% of entries receiving this top grade in each subject.
Particularly strong performances included:
• 17 Grade 9s in English Literature
• 15 Grade 9s in Mathematics
• 12-13 Grade 9s in each of the Science subjects
Marie Orton, the new headteacher of Myton School, said: “I am incredibly proud of this year's cohort and all they have achieved. These outstanding results are the culmination of years of hard work, determination and perseverance, supported by dedicated staff and families who have championed our students every step of the way.
"To achieve our best-ever results in English and mathematics is a tremendous accomplishment, but what makes me most proud is seeing so many young people fulfil their potential and leave Myton equipped for the exciting opportunities ahead. Whether students have achieved the very highest grades or overcome personal challenges to reach their goals, every success deserves to be celebrated.
"On behalf of the entire Myton community, I offer my warmest congratulations to all our students. We are delighted to celebrate your achievements today and wish you every success in the next stage of your educational journey.”
