A total 83 per cent of pupils got at least five GCSEs
including English and Maths from exams sat last summer.
It still meant significantly above the national average of
56.6 per cent and Solihull average of 60.8 per cent.
The result for Arden
was 84 per cent in 2009 then 92, 91, 90 and 94 per cent in subsequent years.
But changes in 2014 included disallowing re-sits and tougher
exams with less coursework.
When pupils got their results in August principal Martin Murphy said “over 85 per cent” achieved the key GCSE score.
The final figures are published in January after validation
by the Department for Education.
He said then: “The students have reached their challenging
targets and we are particularly pleased that we have achieved such truly
impressive results when the bar is being significantly raised nationally and
the exam system has changed.”
