Thursday, 22nd August was GCSE results day, the culmination of a long summer wait for thousands of young students across the country. Students at de Stafford School recorded their best ever set of GCSE results. 60% of all students achieved the key threshold measure of five GCSEs graded at A*-C, including English and Maths. This is a 6% increase on last year and a 17% rise in just four years making de Stafford one of the most rapidly improving schools in the county.

The new Headteacher of de Stafford, Mr Jeremy Garner, said: "Our students deserve to be congratulated on their outstanding results. These outcomes do not happen by accident and are a testament to the dedication and hard-work invested by students as well as the excellent support and guidance provided by staff and parents. "It is fantastic that the headline results are so positive but, more importantly, so many de Stafford students are now in a position to enter the next phase of their education with a strong set of examination results behind them. They have clearly thrived in their time here at de Stafford and we wish our year 11 leavers all the very best for the future. As incoming Headteacher, I am excited by the challenge of building upon these excellent results and ensuring the school continues to go from strength to strength."
