IGCSE results
70 students sat a total of 641 exam entries, 57 students (81%) scored 5 ‘C’s or better, including 27 students (39%) who scored 5 ‘A’s or above. The pass rate is 99%.
43% of all grades are ‘A’ to ‘A*’, while 83% are C or higher. These grades are commendable especially considering the difficulty of online learning and periods of isolation/quarantine that Covid forced on the candidates. The school
congratulates the students for all their hard work and perseverance in the face of such difficulties.
41% of students sat 10 or more IGCSEs. Taral Bhasadia, with 11 A*s, and Hillary Lowseck with 10 A*s are the top performers this year. Other top performers are (in no order): Stephie Li Ah Kane, Tariq Naidoo, Wayne Palmyre, Tanmay Raghwani, Pearl Patel.

P6 Primary Checkpoint results
This year, 76 P6 students sat the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint exams in three subjects – English, Maths and Science from October 13 – 15, 2021.
The Cambridge Primary Checkpoint assessment is a form of evaluation used to ascertain whether students have achieved the objectives set from P1 to P6. It enables schools to obtain an international benchmark of learner’s performance and to identify and address learning needs in English, Mathematics and Science.
The table shows the percentage of students scoring grades 3.0 to 6.0 (Good to Excellent) and grades 0.0 to 2.9 (Very Poor to OK)
*******
Compared to 2020, this cohort has shown significant improvement in Science with 97.4% of students scoring a grade 3.0 or better. However, for Maths and English the percentage of students scoring grade 3.0 or better remains consistent to the previous year.
The top excellent performers who scored 100% and grade 6.0 in all 3 subjects are Amber Horter, Sophia Pragassen and Cian Neiland.
The following students also scored excellent for all three subjects (in alphabetical order): Shannie Alexis, Adam Ally, Aishwana De Commarmond, Maria Edmond, Luiza Gertrude, Jessica Hoarau, Haeley Hoareau, Zoe Hoareau, Seamus Rose and Elio Vielle.
We congratulate all the students for their hard work especially given the school closure due to Covid-19 lockdown last year and the consequent challenges this created. We also recognise the dedication of students who worked extremely hard to attain their pass grades. We wish them all the very best in their further studies and careers.
The school management and board members also warmly thank the staff who, through their effort and commitment over the years, have ensured that the students performed to the very best of their abilities.
Similarly, we recognise and sincerely appreciate the support and encouragement that we received from parents during the time that they entrusted their children’s education to us.
