Congratulations to all DSTC Year 11 students on their results, they mark a fantastic achievement in a turbulent year for GCSE qualifications.

This year schools were informed that the results would be significantly lower than the last 3 years and that the grade boundaries would be set more in line with exams in 2019. Despite this there were some fabulous subject results, including:

71% of students achieving a grade 4 or above in GCSE English and GCSE Maths

49% of students achieving a grade 5 or above in GCSE English and GCSE Maths

We are also pleased to report some outstanding individual achievements by our students in their qualifications this summer.
