A TOTAL of 202 Year 11 students were celebrating on Thursday morning at Budehaven Community School as they received their GCSE results. Despite the national turbulence in examination results this year following a raft of government changes, the school's results have remained strong. The percentage of students gaining an A* to C in English and mathematics are both above the national average, and 58% of the year group gained the higher grades in both subjects. The headline measure of 5A* to C including English and maths is, however down on the school's expectations; at 54% it has remained the same as last year although the school was expecting to see a five or 6% increase. Headteacher David Barton was nevertheless delighted with the students' successes.
