STUDENTS at St Joseph’s School in Launceston are celebrating after a successful GCSE results day.

As students across the country collect their results, those in Launceston have reason to rejoice amid impressive grades which saw 93 per cent of all results being between grades 9 to 4, 93 per cent of pupils achieving a minimum of five GCSEs at grades 4 to 9 and 25 per cent of all grades being between Grade 7 and Grade 9 there is much for every pupil to be proud of.

The school has said that the results are a testament to what can be achieved ‘when every child is known, valued and supported to become the very best version of themselves’.

Headteacher Mr O Scott said: "The Class of 2026 should be immensely proud of everything they have achieved. As a non-selective school, we celebrate every grade earned, every barrier overcome and every personal success realised. These results reflect hard work, determination and the support of dedicated staff and families, but they also reflect something greater: the confidence our young people have developed during their time with us.

“GCSE results matter, but what matters even more is the remarkable young adults who leave us today. They leave as confident individuals who know their worth, who have been encouraged to be themselves and who understand that their voice matters. Whether their journey now takes them to sixth form, college, apprenticeships or employment, they do so equipped with the skills, values and self-belief to flourish.

“We are incredibly proud of every student, many of whom I have known since they were here from their first days in Reception, and we look forward to seeing all that they achieve in the future. Congratulations, Class of 2026. We are proud of every one of you, as young people, whose achievements and character embody everything that makes St Jo's such a special place to learn and to belong."
