Delight at St John Bosco Arts College for GCSE results

Earlier today (24 August) students at St John Bosco Arts College collected their GCSE results as they prepare to embark on the next stage in their education journey.

There was excitement in the air as students were able to see all their hard work come to fruition. Students arrived at 8am and were eager to celebrate their achievements with staff and peers.

Overall, the results aligned with expectations with some fantastic success stories.

Alexsandra Stanek who plans to continue their studies at St John Bosco, achieved fantastic results, including a grade 9 in Spanish and five 8s including sciences and English. In September, they will begin studying biology, art and physics at A-level.

Endurance Oka Inomwan also plans to continue their studies at St John Bosco and was delighted to achieve six grades above a 7, including Spanish, maths, English and science.

Macie Wheeler achieved an inspiring set of results, including 7s in English and history and a distinction* in textiles and has also decided to continue their studies at St John Bosco and will be heading into Year 12 in the autumn.

A large proportion of students have decided to remain at the school to complete their A-levels, which is undoubtedly a testament to the supportive and nurturing environment to school has worked so hard to create.

St John Bosco’s sixth form offers a wide range of A-level subjects and applied general, including law and psychology.

For those students who have chosen to pursue alternative pathways, they will begin working towards their futures by undergoing apprenticeships and attending other local colleges.

Christina Okafor, who achieved an amazing four 9s, three 8s and a distinction*, was thrilled with her results.

She said: “It is a relief to finally get my results, and I am so happy about the grades I got in the important subjects I need for A-level”.
