GCSE results 2018

Students at Outwood Academy Carlton once again achieved phenomenal results this summer.

62% of students achieved at least a grade 4 (the equivalent to the old grade C) in both English and Maths, and almost half of the students achieved a grade 5 or better in English and Maths. English results were really impressive, with an incredible 85% of students achieving at least a grade 4 and multiple students gaining a grade 9, the very top grade available.

This year group joined the school at its lowest ebb and their primary school SAT results indicated that they were a particularly weak year group; the weakest in the whole of Barnsley. But due to the students’ hard work and resilience, combined with the support of our parents/carers and the complete dedication of staff, they achieved some amazing results and still met or exceeded national averages, ensuring that Outwood Academy Carlton remains one of the highest performing schools within Barnsley

Basic 4+ = 63%
Basics 5+ = 47%
English 4+ = 85%
English 5+ = 66%
Maths 4+ = 65%
Maths 5+ = 50%
Progress 8 = +0.28 (estimate only)

Results across the board were superb and many of our students achieved a whole string of top grades.

“Over the last 3 years, results have shown that students who attend Outwood Academy Carlton make significantly more progress in their time at the academy, when compared to students not only in Barnsley but also nationally. As such, parents and carers can have real confidence that their children will be highly successful during their time at Outwood Academy Carlton. This success has meant that the academy has become increasingly popular and the number of students in the academy has risen by almost 250 in the last 2 years and the academy is now full in both year 7 and 8. For the first time ever this year, we were over subscribed for places in year 7 and have a waiting list of 40 students. Not so many years ago, we were the school that students were allocated when they were unable to gain a place at their preferred school. Now, unless you make Outwood Academy Carlton your 1st choice preference, it is very unlikely that parents will secure a place for their child at our academy”.
