Student Spotlight Emily – Deputy Head Girl “Opening my results was very exciting, I was very pleased. I’m pleased I got all 9s in the subjects I am going on to study next year. It’s really made me feel that I’ve made the right choice in going to study Biology, Chemistry and Geography at CSMS in September. Being Deputy Head Girl has definitely helped me to boost my confidence. It was great to see the effect I had on the younger year groups, being a positive influence to them and acting as a role model that I would’ve looked up to when I was in Year 7. I’d like to say a special thank you to my Maths and Science teachers. They always encouraged me to do my best.” Student Spotlight Corben – 9s in Key Future Subjects Corben is delighted to have secured his place at Callywith next to study Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths as A-Levels. He said: “I was very excited and very happy when I opened my envelope. I’m particularly delighted with my Biology, Chemistry and Maths results where I got 9s in all of them. Period 0 [early morning study] and the Exam Success Sessions have been extremely useful. Period 0 was particularly helpful because it got you ready for the start of the day and I studied the subject I was least confident in. These extra hours really helped.” Student Spotlight Gracie – “I had to check they were actually my results…” “I would have been happy with 5s across the board but I did so much better – I had to check they were actually my results as I didn’t believe it! It’s going to take a while to settle in! I’m particularly pleased with my English Literature and Language where I got 7s for both. I considered this to be one of my most challenging subjects – I got 5s in my PPEs [mock exams], so I am delighted to score so highly. A lot of teachers have helped me to progress, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them. Year 11 has been my best year at Penrice, I’ve really enjoyed it.” Gracie next heads to Callywith College to study A-Levels.
