The Chalfonts Community College enjoyed improved CGSE results just a week after the improved A-Level results were released. On Thursday 23 August our Year 11 students celebrated a great set of results at GCSE and BTEC. This is the third year of the new principal, Mr Russell Denial, being at the helm and shows how the school is heading to greater heights. The Attainment 8 score improved to 45.93, the percentage of students gaining a standard pass (Level 4+) in English was 88% and for Maths this was 72%, both up on last year. In fact, 68% of students gained English and Maths standard passes; another improvement on the 2017 figures.

Two exceptional students gained 10 GCSEs at Level 7 or above, namely Riya Chard (including 2 Level 9s) and Lilly Majewski (2 at Level 9 and a Distinction*in PE).  Alexandra Sayers gained 9 GCSEs at Level 7 or above (including 4 Level 9s) and Josh Williams gained 8 GCSEs at Level 7 and above. There were a further 6 students that gained 7 GCSEs at Level 7 and above, with DoOma Koizumi having 4 grade 9s.

There were some outstanding departmental results with over 25% of students awarded a Level 7 (A-grade equivalent) or above in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Dance and Design Technology (Textiles) and PE. It is this breadth of success in traditional academic, the performing arts and BTECs that makes this such an inclusive school. We wish all the best to our students as they move to the next chapter of their lives.

On Saturday 30th June three teams from The Chalfont Community College travelled to southern Poland to embark on their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition in The Tatra Mountain range which forms a natural border between Slovakia & Poland. We were based in Zakopane and then travelled over the border to begin the hike on Monday 2nd July.

On the day we went to France we were all really excited as we jumped on the coach and then onto the ferry. When we got onto the ferry we had a look at where everything was and our meeting points and then got to explore. In France, the first place we went to was the market where there were loads of shops and stalls. By then we were all hungry and went to the beach to have lunch where we took loads of pictures and drew in the sand. After that we got on the coach and went to the bakery to see how traditional bread is made and we were given croissants at the end. Then we went to a massive shopping centre and bought our dinner. Finally we got back on the ferry and the coach and got home at around 11:00pm. I even won a baguette during Mr Quéré’s quiz on the way back. I enjoyed France.
