---

School records tumble in banner year for students

Chiswick School have achieved excellent GCSE results for the third year running.

92% of Chiswick Community School students achieved 5 GCSE or equivalents at grades A* to C in a school record for this measure, whilst 60% achieved 5 A*/C grades including English and Maths.

The percentage of students achieving the English Baccalaureate, the government’s new measure rose 2% on last year up to 26%. This is the third year running that the ‘including English and Maths’ benchmark has come in around 60% dispelling any doubts that the leap in examination results three years ago at the school was a flash in the pan.

There were some outstanding results from individual students. Chris Whitehouse achieved a record 10 A stars plus an A in additional maths and will be continuing his studies at Chiswick. James Carty achieved an astonishing 9 A stars. He said ‘I feel really ecstatic and am looking forward to studying at Chiswick Sixth Form next year’.
