GCSE results 2019: Melbourn Village College

A set of twins secured almost identical results at Melbourne Village College.

Both students walked away with 11 of the highest 9-8 grades each, including a further A* in additional maths.

Almost two thirds of students (61 per cent) at the village college achieved grades 9-4 in both English and maths.

And more than a quarter (27.5%) of all grades were 7 or higher – equivalent to an A or A* grade before the changes to the grading system came into effect.

The school said the government benchmark Progress measure is expected to be in line with the national average once again.

Principal Simon Holmes said: “We are very pleased for all our students who have once again achieved some truly excellent results. The results are the culmination of five years’ hard work at secondary school and we wish them all the very best in the future.”

Stephen Munday, chief executive of The Cam Academy Trust, which Melbourn Village College is part of, said: “All our schools and their staff should be very proud of the results that have been achieved this year. While the results will be celebrated at each school, they are the product of collaboration between our schools, leaders and teaching staff over the past few years.

“Most importantly, it is pleasing to see that each school is helping our students to progress at or above the national average throughout the region.”
