The Matthew Arnold School is delighted with the results achieved in the 2019 GCSE examination series. Once again, this year has given us best-ever results, with our Year 11 students continuing the unprecedented 4-year rise in performance. Students, staff and parents are rightly extremely proud of what has been achieved.

The progress of students at The Matthew Arnold School during 2019 is the highest the school has achieved and places the school as best performing in the local area and within our academy trust. This is testament to the hard work and dedication of all involved.

Exceptional performances were frequent across the cohort; however, top performers are:

• Attainment: Aaron Evans (Eight GCSEs at grade 9, three at grade 8 and L2 Further Maths at A*)
• Progress: Kaycee Spriggs (A progress of +2.9 - this means that Kaycee improved on expectations by nearly three grades per subject)
