Cheshire students GCSE success

Students across Cheshire East have chalked up great successes in their GCSE and vocational qualifications results. 

Provisional figures show that 70.1 per cent of pupils achieved a ‘standard pass’  or better in GCSE English and maths combined (up 3.1 per cent on last year), with 49 per cent achieving the ‘strong pass’ – up 4 per cent on last year. 

GCSE English results were particularly strong with 78.2 per cent of Cheshire East pupils gaining the standard pass or better, with 63.6 per cent achieving a strong pass. 

Overall results for pupils who studied vocational technical qualifications (VTQ) will be available in the autumn.

Schools are offering support and advice on next steps based on students’ results and young people can also contact the council’s youth support service.

Young people and their families can also find local support for mental health and wellbeing on the our webpages.
