Rye College – GCSE Results – August 2022

Despite the challenges of the last two years, Rye College students have produced strong performances across the main measures in this year’s GCSE results.  Although the last academic year has been turbulent for many young people, educational outcomes reflect the college’s determination to minimise the impact on examination results.

In the basic measure of students passing both English and maths, standard passes rose from 57% in 2019, when students last sat formal examinations, to 63% and strong passes equalled 2019’s performance at 38%. Taken alongside the students’ other results, these grades mean that on average students leave Rye College with a standard pass in all their qualifications.

Headteacher Dom Downes, said: “These results are a cause for celebration and we are exceptionally proud of our students. These outcomes reflect the young people’s commitment to learning, hard work, and resilience in the face of unbelievable challenges. Their achievements ensure they can progress to the next stage in their education and we wish them every success as they move on to higher education, employment, or training.”

At the kind invitation of Rye College, the ROSA Chair, Tim Rothwell, attended the Rye College Year 11 final assembly on 3 July 1967 to talk about ROSA to Year 11 who are leaving school this summer. Let’s hope we get a few new members from the current generation of students. A very impressive assembly – and very different from the singing of ‘Lord Dismiss Us With Thy Blessing’ at the last assembly Tim attended in July 1967! How times have changed – and generally for the better. Although the school hall looked pretty much the same!
