Date published: 22 August 2024


Newman College staff celebrated with students this year’s GCSE results achievements.

The results, which continue to build on improvement, are testament to the courage and dedication shown by students and staff throughout the year and the always tough exam season, and staff would like to congratulate all involved.

Zilang Su achieved an amazing eleven Grade 8s and 9s and intends to study Biology, Chemistry and Maths.

Zilang said: “Newman College has been an incredible stepping stone for my life.

"I owe it to the exceptionally kind teachers."

Zunaira Kayani achieved nine Grade 8s and 9s and intends to study Biology, Chemistry and Psychology.

Zunaira said: “I am so happy with my grades, and it was definitely only possible with the hard work of me and my teachers”.

Head Student Mia Canny, who achieved five Grade 8s and 9s intends to study History, Law, English and Sociology, said: “I am chuffed with my grades, my hard work paid off.

"I couldn’t have done it without my teachers... I will miss you all.”

Peggy Andrews, one of Newman's top achieving students for progress, said “My biggest goal in life is to be the best I can be in all of my subjects and in my future career.

"Hopefully I can now become a radiologist and change the world.”

This year has seen a full return to pre-2019 grades and grade boundaries.

The outcomes once again demonstrate Newman’s commitment to academic excellence for all in an environment of love and service fostered by staff.

They take great pride in students’ achievements this year.

As always, Newman will continue to grow and improve, investing in teaching, driving developments in its curriculum and teaching and learning, and push students to achieve their potential.
