We encourage our students to embrace all opportunities at school and, through these, to develop into increasingly resilient, independent, adaptable, respectful and resourceful learners. We have high expectations of our school community and pride ourselves on our safe, supportive yet challenging environment in which students are able to enjoy, flourish and achieve.

Chenderit School celebrates another year of excellent results at A Level
15 Aug 2019
Chenderit students are again celebrating very many successes in today’s A-level results, marking another
year of strong academic and personal achievements for students at the school.
22%
of all results have been graded A* or A, up from 20% last year; 42% of all results
have been graded A*, A or B, the same as last year and 71% of all results have
been graded A*-C, an improvement from 69% last year. The overall pass rate is
98%. Our students have exceeded the challenging targets we set, based on their
prior attainment and over 80% of our students have gained entry to their first
choice university.
I am delighted
for Chenderit’s A level students who, once again, have achieved excellent
results as a consequence of their hard work and the support of committed and
highly skilled staff. Today’s results are based on the new, more demanding A
level specifications and the results achieved will enable almost all students
to move on to their destination of choice
There are many
outstanding individual performances to be celebrated and all of our students
have exciting degree courses, apprenticeships, employment opportunities and gap
year plans on the horizon. George Tait is
now taking up a place at Loughborough University, and Rosie Pinder will attend
the University of Nottingham: each achieved two A* grades and one A grade. In addition, the following students secured 2
A* - A grades with other good grades and are now planning the following
pathways: Katie Files (University of Leicester), Hazel Fisher (Aberystwyth
University), Alice Griffin (gap year), Sydney Shaw (University for the Creative
Arts), Dylan Taylor (Swansea University), James Waite (apprenticeship), Katie
Smallwood (Nottingham Trent University), Emily Smith (Hartpury University) and
Elliott Warner-Drew (gap year employment). Our students excelled themselves and
are to be congratulated: we are proud of the efforts of all our students.
I would like
to pass on my thanks to the whole school community and congratulate our A level
students, on behalf of the school and the Governing Body. These results
demonstrate that Chenderit School provides high quality education to students
and, very importantly, that our students are challenged and supported to
achieve their very best. I congratulate
all students and wish them well as they take up their places at university, in employment,
or as they begin their gap year. I
wish each and every student success in the future.
Jane Cartwright,
Headteacher.
