PGHS Exam Success
Yet again, students at Penwortham Girls’ High School have built on the school’s longstanding reputation for exceptional academic outcomes, exceeding every expectation by achieving another stunning set of GCSE results. Girls of all abilities and backgrounds rose to meet the challenges of the rigorous examinations and smashed their ambitious targets, achieving an average of well over half a grade higher across all subjects than their peers nationally.
The Class of 2019 almost doubled the number of Grade 9’s achieved last year, with an impressive 77 awarded in total. In fact, a staggering third of all the grades awarded were Grade 7 or higher (equivalent to an old A Grade). Importantly, 84% of students gained a standard pass (Grade 4 or higher – equivalent to an old C Grade or higher) including English and mathematics, with 69% achieving a strong pass at Grade 5+ in English and mathematics. There were several examples of individual success, with 10 students getting grades 7-9 in all their subjects. Additionally, 5 students made exceptional progress, attaining on average at least 2 grades higher than the national expectation; just reward for all their hard work over the five years.
Everyone at PGHS is filled with pride about the results. Headteacher, Karen Pomeroy said that ‘Penwortham Girls’ is a genuine community school and these amazing results are a tribute to everyone who is a part of it; from dedicated teachers and support staff who work tirelessly alongside our exceptionally well-motivated girls, as well as their families who have provided vital support and encouragement along the way.’ Chair of Governors, Lorimer Russell-Hayes was full of praise, stating that ‘I thought that our results couldn’t get much better, but this year they’ve gone up another level.’
This latest success has certainly given PGHS a spring in its step, and with extensive improvements being made to the school’s facilities over the summer, including two newly built classrooms and improved sports facilities, everyone is really excited about the new term.
