2018 GCSE results
Eastbourne College pupils have performed superbly under the new, arguably more challenging, 9 to 1 grade system. With a mix of old and new grading systems, close to 96 per cent of this year’s 118 Year 11 pupils achieved five or more 9 to 4 grades (equivalent 96 per cent A* – C), with 30 per cent of all grades at 9 and 8 (equivalent to A* or better). Fifty-eight pupils achieved at least five A*-A / 9-7 grades which represented roughly half the year group. One hundred and six pupils (90 per cent) secured at least one 8, 9 or A*.
The College once again celebrated outstanding science results with the percentage of 9 to 7 grades in Biology of 93 per cent, Chemistry 95 per cent and Physics 86 per cent. Also performing well, pupils in History (which used the old alphabetical system this year) were awarded 90 per cent A* to B grades.
Sixteen pupils achieved eight or more 9, 8 or A* grades, with leading performers: Shaumya Kularajan gaining ten 9, 2A* and a B in further Maths, Sophie Nicholles gaining eleven 9 and an A* and Chloe Cox and Luke Muschialli both with nine 9, one 8 and 2A*.
