Turves Green Girls’ School would like to congratulate our Year 11 leavers and their teachers for securing fantastic results in their GCSEs. The percentage of leavers securing a Grade 4 or better (equivalent to the old ‘C’ grade) rose to 69% in Maths and 79% in English.

The number of students securing higher grades, 5+ (equivalent to the old ‘B’ ) is also remarkable. Across a wide range of subjects, our leavers achieved tremendous results, with over 60% achieving a 5+ in Computer Science, 54% in RE and 52% in History.

Our broad curriculum, which allows students to follow practical qualifications, has also allowed many students to secure a career path into public services with results with 96% securing a pass or better and 62% achieving a distinction or better in Health and Social Care Btec. Creative subjects, such as Performing Arts – Dance, have again seen huge success, with 83% achieving a merit.

One particularly pleasing outcome of this summer’s hugely challenging and stressful exams is the number of students who achieved the very highest grades, 8s and 9s. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Computer Science, English Language and Literature, History and Geography all saw a number of students reach these phenomenal heights – placing these talented and hard-working students amongst the best and brightest in the country.
​
We wish our leavers every success in their chosen sixth forms, apprenticeships and colleges, and look forward to hearing about their challenges and successes in the years ahead and hope to see many return whether for work experience, to present in careers sessions or speak in assemblies and other events.

The introduction of new exam specifications in GCSE subjects has resulted in a request for extra time in Key Stage 4 from a large number of teachers.  As a response to this request we are in the process of considering moving to a 3 year Key stage 4 starting in September.

The Birmingham Civic Society's Next Generation Awards scheme has been running for twelve years and worked with over 26,500 young people. Each year approximately 20 Birmingham Schools participate.

The award scheme is an assessed project-based programme for 11-14 year-olds. It is an inclusive project which is great for developing pupils' skills in team-working, ICT, presentation, creative writing and problem solving, and to help the pupils in Birmingham to become active citizens that contribute positively to future of our city.

At Turves Green Girls’ School, we ran the project across the whole of Year 7 with many groups coming up with fantastic ideas for projects that could make a difference to both pupils at our school and beyond in the community. 

The winning group from our school were ‘The Healthy Hunters’, a group of six pupils who wanted to run a healthy eating and exercise club after school.  Their idea and presentation was excellent and saw them beating off competition from 15 schools in the semi-finals to reach the final on Thursday 5th October at Royal Bank of Scotland in Brindley Place, Birmingham.

The girls gave a fantastic presentation to the judges on the night and, although they were not judged as being the winners of the night, staff and parents alike were extremely proud of them and their achievement.

Here are the team celebrating their Success. Well done Girls!
