Principal full of praise for GCSE students at RSD
Pupils at the Royal School Dungannon have achieved excellent GCSE results in this summer’s examinations.
An incredible 27/95 pupils who sat GCSE examinations returned at least 7 A*/A grades.
Adam Willis secured a clean sweep of 10 A* grades while Kaitlyn Tate and Megan Stewart each returned 9 A* grades plus 1 A grade.
Georgina Mulligan, Stuart Moore, Cherith Bartley, Jill Burton, Lauren Stewart and Rebecca McAdam carried off 10 A*/A grades while Cindy Kwok, Patrick Swaile, Bethany Wilson and Alexander McMaster returned A*/A grades in 9 subjects.
The overall results showed that 42% of all grades were at A* or A grades and 74% of all grades were at A*-B. 85% of pupils met government benchmarks of returning at least seven A*-C grades.
The Headmaster, Dr David Burnett, was full of praise for the pupils, stating that, “We knew how hard so many of the pupils were working and we had high hopes for their success and it is wonderful to see so many of them realise their ambitions. They deserve huge congratulations for all their efforts and dedication.
“The support of parents and teachers has been a very important factor and it is that combination of support alongside the ability and effort of the pupils that has helped produce such excellent results.”
