Farnborough Hill girls celebrate

September 3, 2008 on 2:04 pm | In 2008 GCSE results, Hampshire


Happy smiles were the order of the day at Farnborough Hill on GCSE results day. Staff, students and proud parents were thrilled to discover that 21% of the girls achieved A* or A grades in all their subjects. More than a quarter of the year group gained 9 or more A* or A grades.

As always there were superb performances from a number of individuals with Alexandra Cooper, Tegwen Gabb and Hannah Patel gaining 9 A*s as well as AS level English a year early.

The 21 candidates in Year 10 sitting their English GCSE a year early as part of our extension programme for the gifted and talented achieved 100% A*/A grades.

Headmistress, Mrs Sarah Buckle, said ‘We are delighted with these results and pleased that the girls have done so well. Coming on top of last week’s brilliant A level results and a superb inspection report, the school really is looking forward to another exciting year.’ Mrs Sharon Young, a parent of three girls at the school, said ‘I’m so pleased with Phoebe’s results – and the girls have so much fun learning at Farnborough Hill.’
