1 Success at Barclay 2013

2 Welcome from Debbie Upton, Headteacher Dear Parents, Carers and Students Welcome to The Barclay School! I am delighted you have chosen to visit us this evening. I hope that you enjoy taking part in the activities and are impressed by what you see. There will be two sessions in the Hall this evening where you will hear a number of short speeches from governors, staff and students and a chance to see the premiere of our new Barclay film! The talks are at 6:45pm and 7:45pm and a bell will ring to notify parents just before the second session is about to start. You will find a wealth of information about the school from reading the prospectus. The latest details about our curriculum and the general life of the school can be found on The website is constantly updated with news items, events, extra-curricular activities as well as dates and other information which we feel will be helpful to you. Tonight you are very welcome to go round the school on your own or you may wish to join a small group and be taken round by Barclay students. Make sure you take part in all of the activities as you go round and don t forget to collect a sticker from each department. You will find a small reward at the end for you in the dining room. Everyone connected with Barclay believes it to be a very special place! We hope you feel this too. I wish you an informative and enjoyable evening. A Message from the Andrew Boakes, Chair of Governors I am proud to be the Chair of Governors of such a happy, successful school which, next year will be celebrating 65 years of producing confident, well rounded and employable individuals. We still firmly believe in the guiding principles that have served us well over all those years. I know that your child will be safe and happy in a community built on traditional values of: Respect Hard work Discipline And enjoyment of learning! You will see as you walk around this evening, we do not teach in shiny new buildings. However we strive to constantly upgrade our facilities and there will be significant investment by Hertfordshire County Council in the school over the next few years. I am sure you will agree that it is the quality of the teaching and learning together with excellent relationships between students and staff that motivate children to achieve their best and these are our priorities. We know that this formula works just look at our results. Myself and the governors will be delighted to speak with you through the course of the evening.

3 Examination Results 2013 Key Stage 4 - GCSE 2013 This year results at Barclay continued to go from strength to strength with 57% of Barclay students achieving 5 A* C grades at GCSE including English and Mathematics, an 11% increase on last year s results. This is the best result across all of the non-selective schools in Stevenage in 2013 and shows that Barclay is a school that continues to rapidly improve. 73% of Barclay students achieved 5 A* - C in any subject with 21 of our Year 11 students sitting AS Level in Critical Thinking in addition to their GCSE courses. Not only did 100% of them pass, but 15 of them achieved a C grade or above this is an impressive statistic given that AS Levels are normally taken in the Sixth Form. We are celebrating some fantastic GCSE results this year and our students have achieved some impressive GCSE grades cementing us as the highest performing non-selective school in Stevenage. Head Teacher Debbie Upton was thrilled stating: "We are delighted with our results and tremendously proud of all our students. Particularly pleasing is the number of students of all abilities who have attained the top grades. This success affirms the school s determination to secure the highest academic standards for its students in Stevenage. This has been a team effort with students, staff and parents working together to achieve the best possible outcomes. Many of our Year 11 students returned to Sixth Form and have benefited from the substantial choice of courses offer we provide at post-16 level. The table and graph below show the strong, proven trend of Barclay results, with core subjects of English (66%) and Mathematics (70%) at A* - C which are an absolute must for all future courses and employers. This year's result, an increase of 11% despite the new tougher marking regimes now in place, puts Barclay in a really good position to secure the best academic outcomes for students in Stevenage and we believe that we will continue to sustain this high level of improvement and outcomes year on year % of students achieving 5A* - C (inc English & Mathematics) % of students Year achieving 5A* - C (inc English and Mathematics) From the table overleaf you will see not only some of our fantastic subject outcomes for last year, but also the range and breadth of qualifications we offer to enable all our students to be successful and enjoy studying with us.

5 A Level Results 2013 A level results have also been part of Barclay s rapid improvement and achievement hit record levels this year. Nearly a quarter of Barclay students (23%) achieved an A* or A grade in at least one subject with many students achieving straight grade As in all of their subjects. With an overall pass rate of 98% the school was delighted with the 76% of entries that were awarded a top grade of C or above as the table below shows: A* - A A - C A-E % 76% 98% % 61% 96% % 63% 95% % 55% 95% A record number of students secured places at one of the prestigious Russell Group Universities. With three of our notable successes pictured below including Rhys Williams (left), who will study economics at Cambridge University. Alex Coker (right) got two A*s in geography and economics and an A in mathematics to secure a place at the University of York to read economics. Hannah Phillips gained an A* in geography and two As in history and psychology to secure a place at the University of East Anglia to study history. We achieved a record breaking set of results enabling the vast majority of our students to get into their first choice of university or college. Headteacher Debbie Upton said: Our students thoroughly deserve these fantastic results, they are a testament to their consistent hard work and dedication through the year and the tremendous support of their parents and families. Barclay is also fortunate to have a committed staff who are willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our students achieve the best results they possibly can.
