We are absolutely delighted to have another set of fantastic GCSE & BTEC results here at CHSG. With 80% of students receiving at least a Grade 4 in both English and Maths and nearly 60% receiving a Grade 5 in these subjects, we have once again built on and improved what was already a remarkable set of results last year. These, of course, are testament to the hard work of the staff and the students here at #teamchsg, and we look forward to welcoming many of our students back to the Sixth Form in September. A huge thanks must also go to the parents/carers who have supported us on our journey with the cohort; we hope you are very proud of their achievements!
Mr M M J Devenney
We are delighted with our Key Stage 5 results this year. It was fantastic to see so many smiles from both the students and some proud parents and carers when envelopes were opened this morning!
The results are testament to the hard work and abilities of the students - they have worked with dedication and resilience and will be remembered as an outstanding cohort by their subject teachers and the CHSG Sixth Form Team in particular.
THURSDAY 15th AUGUST 2024
8:00am
UCAS Track will be updated at about 8.00am and this will show your daughter the status of their university application. Students should make sure they have their login details to hand!
8:30am
Year 13 results will be available for collection from the Hall (no earlier than 8:30am due to the embargo on results before that time). Members of staff will be on hand to give help and advice to students who do not get the grades they need for either their Firm or Insurance choices.
Students need to come to school with all the necessary contact information (see bullet points 1 and 2 below). They should bring a fully charged phone, in case they have not secured the grades required for their Firm or Insurance choices of university and need to do some research.
Please remember, results can only be handed to a representative of the student if prior written authorisation has been given by the student and submitted to Ms Maybury, our Examinations Officer. Results cannot be given by telephone.
Post Examination Services
Ms Maybury and the Sixth Form Team will be available on the day to offer guidance on any reviews of marking or access to scripts. A student consent form (available on the day) must be submitted with each post-exam service request. Payment will be made on ParentPay.
| Service | Cost |
| Script copy | £5 |
| Clerical re-check per component | £10 |
| Review of marking | £50 |
| Priority review of marking | £60 |
The result of any review of marks is final: please be aware that your daughter’s grade could go down.
Therefore, a review should only be considered if her paper is 1 or 2 marks below the higher grade boundary.
Where a review results in a higher grade, you can request a refund from the school, as this will not be charged by the exam board.
Friday 19 July is the last day of term and will be an early finish, students will be dismissed as per below:
Students will return to school in September at the usual time.
Year 7 and 12 will start on Wednesday 4 September and the rest of the school will start on Thursday 5 September.
We wish all students and their families a restful summer break.
The GCSE results day will take place on Thursday 22nd August, and we look forward to celebrating with our students and congratulating them on their achievements and will offer support and guidance on their next academic steps.
Students will be able to collect their results from our main school hall between 9am and 10.30am and should enter in via the main school entrance. Parents and carers are welcome to accompany their child if they wish.
When students receive their results’ envelopes and have met the requirements for their sixth form subject choices, they should proceed to the Sixth Form Enrolment zone where a member of staff will confirm their place. If a student wishes to take up their place with us but has decided to change their subjects, they just need to indicate their new subject choices and speak to a member of the Sixth Form team who will check that the subject-specific entry criteria has been met. We will have many Heads of Department and Senior Leaders available should students and parents wish to talk through option choices. To ensure a smooth transition to Year 12 we request that students continue to work on their bridging work throughout the summer.
Should your child not have secured a place in our Sixth Form we will have Mrs Phelps-Gardiner on hand in the Careers zone to offer advice and support on their next steps.
If you haven’t applied for the CHSG Sixth Form and would like to be considered, please see Miss Ishola and Mrs Norman at the desk or email: bnorman@carshaltongirls.org.uk
We are required to collect data on students’ post 16 destinations and so students must complete an MS Form survey before they leave. We will have QR codes on display for those wishing to do this on their phones and some laptops available otherwise.
We hope this day will be a joyful celebration for all the hard work that the students have put in over the years and hope to see lots of smiling faces in our celebration zone, where we would like to take photos.
We really look forward to seeing your child on the 22nd August but should you know in advance that they will not be available, then please email our Exams Officer, Mrs Maybury, rmaybury@carshaltongirls.or.uk and we can arrange to have the results emailed to you, but this will not be until after 11am.
If you have any questions or queries at this stage, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your child a relaxing summer break and wish them all the success they deserve on Results Day.
