Exam results at Lowton High School have risen even further this summer with a spectacular 73% of students achieving grades of A* to C in 5 or more subjects, equalling last year’s record results, but exceeding last year’s results when including English and Maths.

Yet again many individual students have attained top grades: 18 students have attained 9 GCSEs at grade A* or A; 59 students (over 28%) have achieved 5 or more GCSEs at grade A* or A; and an astounding 116 students (over 55%) have gained an A* or A in at least 1 subject studied.

The number of students achieving the benchmark 5 A* to C including English and Maths increased again 54%, the highest ever achieved by the school.

Three years ago the school achieved 56% A* to C and 44% including English and Maths. Headteacher, John Shanahan, was delighted with the continuing improvements. “To achieve such high results is brilliant and a testament to the hard work of students and their teachers. We am delighted that so many students, whatever their level of ability, achieved grades in line with their potential, and we wish them all the best for the future.
