Students at City of Ely Community achieved the best results in the College's history for the second year running, with 70% of students achieving five or more higher grades. The results were an improvement on last year's record by a whopping 10 per cent.
Within this record-breaking year group there was also a marked increase in the number of grades at A* and A with 31 students achieving five or more GCSEs at the highest level.
58% of students entered for the College's specialist business subjects achieved at least a grade C. 36 per cent of students achieved at least five or more GCSE A*-C grades including English and Maths, which although a decline on the same statistic last year is an improvement on all previous years.
