We are pleased that following the Secretary of State for Education’s announcement, we are now able to confirm the results of the rigorous, detailed and fair process of Centre Assessed Grades that Lancing provided as instructed by Ofqual throughout the course of the Summer Term.
The outstanding final results only go to affirm that this year group ranks amongst the strongest that we have produced. With the provision of our Sixth Form preparation programme last term, they are uniquely galvanised and strengthened as a community. Overall, 23% of grades achieved were 9, 43% were 8 and above and 67% were graded 7 or above. In the previous (alphabetical) grading system the results would equate to 89% A* – B. Thirty-three students achieved a clean sweep of Grade 7/As or better.
We are pleased to welcome over 50 new students from the UK and around the world to join us on the physical site in September alongside those who achieved these results. Following the cancellation of examinations, Lancing’s seamless provision of distance learning allowed these new Sixth Form students to join those who have been with us throughout their GCSE courses in five intensive weeks of preparation for Sixth Form studies.
Head Master Dominic Oliver said: 'In the face of all the uncertainty generated by the pandemic and the maelstrom over examinations in recent days it is good to see justice being done for this excellent year group. Their results were always going to be strong and it is good to see all their talent and hard work rewarded. I congratulate them and all the teachers who have worked so tirelessly on their behalf throughout their studies. We look forward to welcoming them to the stimulation and excitement of Lancing Sixth Form life.'
