Students and staff are celebrating some of the best ever GCSE grade achievements at Siddal Moor.

The school saw more students than ever before achieving A* and A grades, more than doubling the number of top grades from 2015.

There were also outstanding results in many subjects enabling the students to confidently secure college places.

Ray Baker, headteacher, said: “The hard work of the committed staff and the increased sense of urgency amongst our year 11 students has ensured that there is plenty to celebrate and be proud of with these results.

“With such an emphasis on high expectations, we have seen some dramatic improvements in the school’s results. Whilst the national changes make it hard to compare year on year progress, we are confident that these results are the best that the school has seen.
With the possibility of being one of the most improved school, these results are testament to the hard work that has taken place over the last three years.

"Even though we are delighted with the progress the school is making, we are equally excited about the potential of our current students and are all working tirelessly to ensure that the school keeps pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

“Colleagues deserve credit for their continued effort and commitment to giving our students the best possible opportunities in life and that includes their GCSE results. Seeing the delight on the faces of students is a special part of the job and this week is all about celebrating the students’ successes and sharing their excitement, before the hard work starts again for everyone in September.”

Siddal Moor is an 11-16 school serving the communities of Heywood and Middleton.
