GCSE results day 2024: Cambourne Village College celebrates well-deserved success of pupils

Pupils at Cambourne Village College are celebrating well-deserved success today in their GCSEs, with the school recording another strong set of results.

Key target areas, such as the outcomes of disadvantaged pupils, were a point of particular pride for the school, reflecting the hard work of young people and the staff who teach and work with them.

New principal Lynn Mayes said: “I am immensely proud of our pupils, who have received excellent grades again this year. These results are a true reflection of how much work they and our fantastic team of staff have put in.”

Many pupils achieved exceptionally high results, with eight pupils amassing 53 grade 9s between them, and 33 pupils awarded eight or more grades 7 or above.

Head prefect Abdullah Khan secured nine grade 9s and said he was thankful for being helped to achieve the best results he could, pushed to excel, and taught to reach for the skies.

“I will look back fondly at my years at Cambourne as a time filled with growth and happy memories,” he said.

As well as high attainment, the school is also proud of its pupils’ strong progress. Particularly noteworthy are the nine pupils who outstripped expectations based on their primary school results by an average of two grades higher in each of their subjects, with two, Aliesha Gray and Oliver Roberts, outperforming by an average of three grades higher in each subject.

Aliesha said: “I feel completely overwhelmed today, uplifted by the tremendous support of my teachers throughout the years - thank you so, so much for believing in me, and giving me all I’ve needed at Cambourne Village College.”
