After an uncertain few months students at UTC Portsmouth are opening their GCSE results today, with 75% of students having been awarded grade 5 or above in both English and Maths.
The specialist STEM college, which opened in 2017, which only has two years to work with students towards their GCSEs, but has produced some fantastic results. Over 80% of students received a grade 5 or above in Maths with 100% of students achieving grade 4 or above in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Another strong subject for the college has been Further Maths, with 100% of students achieving a grade 5 or above.
Students are now making their decisions on next steps, with some choosing to continue their STEM education at UTC Portsmouth in the Sixth Form, while others are starting apprenticeships or heading to other colleges to pursue various interests.
James Doherty, Principal of UTC Portsmouth said: “I am so pleased to see that our students have been awarded the grades they deserve. After such a difficult and stressful time over the last few months, it is wonderful to see them open their grades today in the knowledge that their hard work has been recognised.
“These grades are so important to them both for the pride in their achievement but also for putting them in a position to access the exciting futures they all deserve.
“It is also exciting to know that many of them will be staying with us for a further two years to be joined by some fantastic students from other schools across the region who share their passion for STEM.”
