A ‘REMARKABLE group’ at Droylsden’s Fairfield High School has been praised after achieving ‘excellent GCSE results.’
Almost 90 per cent of those at the Fairfield Avenue establishment gained a pass in English, while performance in traditionally challenging subjects has been particularly strong.
More than half studying GCSE Physics achieved a Grade 7 or above, bucking the national trend for girls, and almost half of Computer Science students secured a Grade 7 or higher.
Across the curriculum, pupils achieved 87 Grade 9s or equivalent.
And a spokesperson said: “This remarkable group of young people began their secondary school journey during the challenges of the Covid lockdown, and their resilience, determination, and hard work have truly paid off.
“The school is proud to share that results remain consistently high, reflecting the strength of the curriculum and teaching, and the commitment of both pupils and staff.”
Head at Fairfield, Fiona Lealman, said: “We are delighted that our pupils have achieved some excellent results, having worked with dedication and commitment during some very challenging times.
“Our vision is for pupils to be successful learners who are aspirational, inquisitive and hard-working. Once again, this has been realised in this year’s strong examination results.
“All pupils, regardless of their circumstances, are given the opportunity to learn in an inspiring environment where they can develop as young people and leave with the grades enabling them to pursue their interests and passions.
“These results are a testament to their resilience and determination, the dedication of our staff, and the support of families.
“Well done, Cohort 2025 – we are incredibly proud of you!”
