GCSE Success Stories
Ella achieved an incredible 8 grade 9s, one 7 and two distinctions in her GCSEs! She was most pleased with a 9 in her favourite subject: drama. Ella wanted to offer particular thanks to Miss Cooke and Mrs McDonald. Throughout her time at QES, Ella has been integral to several school productions and a busy participant in the QES community.

I WOULD RECOMMEND QES FOR ITS STRONG PERFORMING ARTS DEPT
Receiving an impressive two grade 8s, five grade 7s, a 6 and an A in child development, Marina put in an excellent performance in her GCSEs. Her 7 in English Language was a grade that she was particularly proud of as English is her second language. Bravo, Marina! She reflected on her time at QES and said that it was the teachers who particularly stand out for her and commented that ‘They (the teachers) make you a priority any time of the day.” We wish Marina lots of success in her A Levels and in her aspirations for a career in law.
the teachers make you a priority any time of the day
With an outstanding two grade 9s, six grade 8s and two 7s, Lyla was right to be proud of herself and she expressed pleasant shock at the 8 she achieved in Maths. Lyla praised the school for the support and encouragement she received from teachers in Year 11 and she particularly rated the school’s revision strategy of using flashcards as it was inclusive of all students. She’s excited to be going on to study biology, chemistry and maths at A Level and hopes to one day be a forensic scientist. We have no doubt that Lyla will make a fantastic impact on the world of science!
THE REVISION RESOURCES THAT QES PROVIDE REALLY HELPED

He advised younger students to be consistent with their studies and respect their teachers. Great advice, Daniel! We wish you well with your studies in sixth form.
QES TEACHERS ACROSS ALL OF MY SUBJECTS WERE GREAT
Opening her results’ envelope to see a grade 9, three grade 8s, five grade 7s and a distinction in health and social care, Chloe was right to be beaming with pride. Ever the thoughtful and kind student, Chloe was quick to offer advice to younger students by saying, “Revise, don’t give up if you get a low grade, keep going and you’ll be rewarded.” Chloe would recommend QES for its, “Good people, good friends and Year 11 resources were excellent, alongside fantastic teachers who are helpful and kind.” With her experience and work ethic, we’re certain Chloe will excel as she goes on to study psychology, maths and biology at A Level. All the best, Chloe!
