NUAST celebrates its first set of GCSE results
This summer marks the first set of GCSE results for Nottingham's University Academy of Science and Technology (NUAST) since opening its doors in September 2015. Following on from a hugely successful set of A Level results last week, NUAST's Year 11 students have performed to the very highest levels in their GCSE and BTEC exams.
With a combined English and Maths figure of 60%, NUAST is now amongst the highest performing schools in the city. Results in the academy's specialist areas were also very impressive with the science GCSE subjects achieving a 77.8% A*-C pass rate, Engineering securing a 100% A*-C pass rate and IT 80%.
Other highlights, in what has been a hugely successful year, include 100% A*-C in languages, 68% A*-C in English, and 67% A*-C in Maths.
Comment from the Principal
Bob White, Principal of NUAST commented:
"It is with an immense sense of pride that I offer my heartfelt congratulations to each and every one of our Year 11 students. Our Year 11s chose NUAST two years ago because they were passionate about science, engineering or IT. That passion has now been rewarded with GCSE results that will allow them to move into further education or apprenticeships, fully equipped to succeed.
I am particularly pleased that NUAST has helped students secure some brilliant outcomes in its specialist subject areas and I would like to thank all our Industry and University partners for their tireless support and commitment to the Academy.
This summer the GCSE and A Level results have confirmed NUAST's place as a high achieving academy offering a real alternative for students in Nottingham City and County."
