PRESS RELEASE The Charles Dickens School GCSE Results 2023

Posted on: 24/08/2023

The Charles Dickens School would like to congratulate Year 11 pupils on their  achievements.

Warren Smith, Headteacher said, “We are extremely proud of our pupils and their results reflect their hard work and resilience throughout their five years with us. It should be acknowledged that a large proportion of their secondary education was still disrupted by COVID, and it has been widely reported that this year the exam boards have been much less generous in their recognition of this. To achieve the results they have achieved, in this context, is a wonderful reflection of their ability and determination. We send them all our very best wishes for their next steps.”

There were a number of exceptional performances at GCSE this year.

Giacomo Seddio achieved grade 9 in Geography, Spanish, Italian, grade 9-8 in Combined Science, grade 8 in English Language, English Literature and Maths and a Distinction in ICT.

Callum MacKinnon achieved grade 9 in English Literature, grade 8 in English Language, grade 7 in Maths and Geography, grade 7-6 in Combined Science and Distinction* in Business and Engineering.

Charlotte Clapham achieved grade 8 in English Literature and grade 8-8 in Combined Science, grade 7 in English Language, grade 6 in Maths and Geography, Distinction* in Music and Distinction in Child Development.

Lara Chambers achieved grade 8 in History, grade 8-7 in Combined Science, grade 7 in English Language and Maths, grade 6 in English Literature and Photography, Distinction* in Child Development and Distinction in Health & Social Care.

Harry Sutton achieved grade 8 in Maths, grade 8-7 in Combined Science, grade 7 in English Language, grade 6 in English Literature, Distinction* in Business, Distinction in ICT and a Merit in Engineering.
