Rainford High students celebrate GCSE results

Rainford High students were jumping for joy this morning as they received their GCSE results. 

The doors of the school opened promptly at 8.00am to Year 11s who were eager to receive the envelopes containing their results. 

It has been another unusual year for students as like last year’s cohort, they were unable to sit their exams. Instead, their grades have been teacher assessed. 

Notable successes include; Mackenzie Steele who achieved all 9s in biology, chemistry, English language, English literature, history, mathematics, physics, sociology and Spanish.

Jacob Matautia gained excellent results with the support of Rainford High’s head of year, subject staff and the pastoral team. Jacob is going on to study Level 2 electrical installation.

He achieved a 6 in art and design, 4-3 in combined science, 4 in English language, 4 in English literature, 4 in food preparation and nutrition, 4 in geography and 4 in mathematics and P2 in Level 1 and 2 sport studies.

School was not always a smooth journey for Ryan McKenzie but together with the pastoral team and his subject teachers, he gained an excellent set of results helping him to make an informed decision about joining Rainford Sixth Form. 

Ryan achieved 4-3 in combined science, 6 in English language, 6 in English literature, 5 in history, 5 in mathematics, a Level 2 BTEC in sport studies, a Level 2 in creative media production and a Distinction in hospitality and catering.

Rainford High’s principal, Ian Young, said: “After a difficult 12 months, it is great to see our students with smiles and relief on their faces! 

“I am so proud of this year group. They have been incredibly hard working and flexible despite everything that has been thrown at them. 

Ian added: “Luckily we will still get to see some of our students around as many are going on to Rainford Sixth Form. No matter where they choose to study next, I would like to wish each and every one of them the very best of luck for the future.”
