PUPILS at Longdendale High School could not have done any better in this year’s GCSEs – they are officially the best ever.

The majority of students achieved at least a pass in both core subjects such as English and Maths, alongside impressive results across a wide range.

Alongside superb results in many areas, the school is particularly pleased with the performance of the Maths, English, Science, Art, and Drama departments which have once again secured very strong results.

The school has also been able to celebrate outstanding success in many other subjects including Music, Business Studies and Computer Science, Geography and French.

Longdendale High, which is based on Spring Street in Hollingworth, said: “These results for the Class of 2022 reflect all the hard work and dedication the students have put in over the last five years at the school despite the challenges and disruption to their education over the past two.

“This is a significant improvement on previous years, showing staff and students alike really do live our ethos of “Excellence and Ambition for all!”

Headteacher Andrea Jones added: “We are exceptionally proud of our class of 2022 and wish them every success as they take their next steps.

“During a period that has seen the most significant disruption to the GCSE examination process and education nationally, it is especially pleasing to see these excellent and well-deserved results of our students.

“We have been delighted to see that, here at Longdendale, the hard work and resilience our students have demonstrated during their time at the school, supported by the commitment and dedication of the staff have been so richly rewarded.

“We are delighted that the vast majority of our students are now pursuing their chosen pathways into further education at sixth form colleges, with several having secured some fantastic work-based apprenticeships.”
