Nearly a quarter of all grades awarded this year to RHS students are grade 9 and half of all grades are grades 9-8. A superb achievement for our students, families and the staff at Rugby High.
Head Teacher Mr Grady is quite simply blown away by the students' results: “The average grade achieved by our students was a grade 8. Clearly, our students follow the motto of Rugby High School, and have set the highest of heights in their hearts. What wonderful success! It is a real testament to the quality of education students receive at RHS, and proof of our students’ determination and hard work to achieve the very best. We could not be happier for our students and their families, and they should be rightly proud of such outstanding results. Once again, our outcomes prove that RHS is absolutely the place where you can rely on getting the very best grades and even more importantly, the support to ensure you can make successful next steps in life. This is a testament to the incredible work of our staff, and of course, the dedication and commitment of our students and families, working in partnership with us to gain the very best outcomes.”
Celebrating our students’ successes today Mr Grady said “I’m sure our students have read the doom-laden news stories about fewer top grades and ‘return to pre-pandemic levels’ and that speculation is difficult to read when waiting for your results. But I am so pleased to say that the 2024 cohort have been prepared brilliantly, and have achieved incredibly highly - above pre-pandemic levels!
We are so proud of their efforts, and wish them every success in their next steps, the vast majority of whom will be staying on to complete A-Levels at Rugby High School. Further fantastic news for our students is that several students, (nearly 10% of the cohort) gained eight grade 9s or more, and 72% of all grades awarded were grades 9-7. We are quite simply overwhelmed at the success stories of our students.”
