Students at Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools are celebrating their GCSE results.
The Year 11 students overcame Covid-related disruption to their learning, including online lessons, and adapted impressively.
This year’s results include letter and number gradings with a 9 considered to be a top A*, an 8 an A*, a 7 the equivalent of an A grade and a 4 the equivalent of a C grade pass.
At Monmouth School for Boys, 22.87% of all grades awarded were the top grade, 9.
Nearly two thirds of grades (64.27%) were 7, 8 or 9, or A*/A – more than double the average in Wales of 22.8% and the UK national average of 26.3%.
These are stronger results than in 2019, the last year in which GCSEs exams were taken before the Covid-19 pandemic.
A total of 16 boys achieved a clean sweep of grades 7-9, or A*/A.
