Results Day 2018
GCSE results 2018
Students at Outwood Academy Carlton once again achieved phenomenal results this summer.
63% 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”.

About Us
Outwood Academy Carlton Outstanding Exam Results 2017
Students at Outwood Academy Carlton once again achieved phenomenal results this summer, gaining the best results in the history of the academy or its predecessor schools and improving significantly upon last year’s results.
We continue to be one of the top performing schools in Barnsley, now second only to the borough’s Grammar school for attainment and students at Carlton make more progress than at any other Barnsley school and well above the national average.
68% of students achieved at least a grade 4 (the equivalent to a grade C) in both English and Maths, a rise of 5% from last year and more than doubling the figure from when Outwood Grange Academies Trust began working with the school in 2014. Half of our students achieved at least a grade 5 in both English and Maths.
English 4+ = 83%
English 5+ = 73%
Maths 4+ = 71%
Maths 5+ = 52%
2+ Sciences A*-C = 66%
Results across the board were superb and many of our students achieved a whole string of top grades, with stunning performances from Emilie Beattie, Brandon Green, Anya Haigh, Nicole Powell, Katy Winrow, Alex Dryden and Jordan Swann.
“This year group were quite incredible and I have never known a group of young people who worked so hard and wanted to be successful so much. The demands placed upon them were immense but they rose to every challenge and as things got more difficult, they just worked even harder. These results are testament to their dedication and desire, to the support provided by their families and to staff who always put students first. I am incredibly proud of the achievements of each and every one of our students and when we talk about ‘transforming lives’, I know that is what we have done for so many of them and these results, and the fact that they have developed into such well-rounded people, will mean that they will be successful in whatever they choose to do in the future”.
Paul Haynes, Principal
