GCSE Results 2020

Hove Park School would like to congratulate our students today for the hard work that has seen so many of them do so well in their GCSEs. They can now celebrate gaining the qualifications that will take them on to the next stage of their education at sixth form or college!

Our students have shown great resilience this year in coping with the huge disruption to their learning caused by the Covid-19 crisis and also the uncertainty over how they would be issued grades and what their progression to post-16 study would involve.

Head teacher Jim Roberts praised the hard work of both the students and staff. He said:

‘I am very proud of the students and their achievements. The challenges of the last few months and the recent announcements about the process of grading should not distract us from acknowledging and celebrating their success. These results are a true reflection of student commitment to their studies and high quality teaching. We wish them all the very best for the future and look forward to hearing about all their future successes. I hope all students, parents and carers will take a moment to watch the short film below that has been made to recognise an extraordinary year group.’

A-level Results 2020

Hove Park School is delighted that so many of our A-level students have deservedly done so well with their results! All of the students have worked hard and their accomplishments will allow them to move on to the next step of their career pathways, whether that is university, an apprenticeship, or straight into the world of work.

In Year 13 there were excellent results in Business Studies, Product Design, Graphic Communications, English Literature, History and Tourism. This is testament to the hard work put in by the students, but also by Hove Park School teaching staff.

Students also leave Hove Park School ready to succeed and thrive in their future endeavours having benefitted from our programme of support and career guidance, designed to ensure students will be successful in whatever they do.

Head teacher Jim Roberts was delighted with the results and praised the hard work of both the students and staff. He said:

‘I am very proud of the students and their achievements. The challenges of the last few months and the recent announcements about the process of grading should not distract us from acknowledging and celebrating their success. In most cases, these results are a true reflection of student commitment to their studies and high quality teaching. Where students have not achieved what they were hoping for, we will be supporting them with their next steps. Hove Park 6th Form is about moving students forward in their chosen career path. We wish them all the very best for the future and look forward to hearing about all their future successes.’
