News The 500 Club is celebrated at Immanuel College!

Today, pupils at Immanuel College are celebrating after receiving their GCSE results. Overall, 500 top grades were achieved (7, 8, 9, Distinction, Distinction*).

The Academy, which is located on Leeds Road in Idle, and is part of Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust, is pleased to announce another year of excellent results achieved by its pupils, following two years of dedication to their studies.

There were some outstanding subject results, including in Religious Education where 84% of students achieved a grade 4 or above and in English literature where 76% students achieved a grade 4 or above. Some exceptional results were also achieved in Photography where 98% of students achieved a grade 5 or above. In addition, in Physical Education, 60% of results were at Distinction or Distinction*.

The vast majority of students will now continue into the highly successful sixth form at Immanuel College or are considering vocational routes such as apprenticeships.

While many pupils have done incredibly well, there are some standout individual achievements. These include:

  • Charlotte Blake who achieved grade 9s in Maths and Sciences and grade 8s in all other subjects.
    Charlotte said: “I was really nervous before getting my results knowing the grade boundaries had been raised, however I was really happy to get top grades in maths and sciences as I will be studying these for A level”.
  • Benjamin Wilkinson, who achieved grades 8 and 9 in all subjects.
  • Rohan Chand, who achieved top grades in all his subjects

Steve Mulligan, Headteacher at Immanuel College said:
“The results achieved by our Year 11 students are testament to the perseverance that they have shown over the last few years. They have faced significant disruption to their secondary education and should be very proud of what they have achieved. We look forward to welcoming most students back into our sixth form and we wish those who are moving on the very best success.”
