GCSE results 2014

P1020855 250pxDane Court Grammar School is celebrating another year of outstanding GCSE results: 96% of students gained at least five GCSE passes at grades A*-C.

Among our outstanding students, Sarah Jones scored 12 A* grades and one A, Amy Napier and Alice Rawson both gained ten A* grades and at least two further A grades; Suzanne Fletcher and Esme Votta both gained nine A* and four A grades. Top-scoring boys were James Howard with nine A* and five A grades; Matthew Hancox, Daniel Van Hinsbergh and Alex Payne each gained seven A* and six A grades.

Science results were especially impressive, with 85% of students gaining A* and A grades in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. These excellent results mean that the large majority of students have secured the grades they need to progress to high-achieving sixth-form International Baccalaureate courses at Dane Court.

Head of School Andrew Fowler said “these superb results reflect the hard work of the students and the wonderful support they have received from their teachers and parents.”
Sarah Snaydon, Assistant Head, said “I am delighted with the success of our Year 11 students. They have worked very hard for these excellent grades, with a very significant number gaining four levels of progress. A number of students have overcome great personal hardship, and I am very proud of their success.”
Chair of Governors Dr V Austin commented, “As always, Governors are intensely proud of the achievements of students and staff at Dane Court.”

Programming robots

MO1L4632 200pxOn Wednesday 3 July 2013 our GCSE engineering students spent the day learning about computer programming and robots.
The whole day was very hands-on with students learning and developing their programming skills through challenges set by Sam; our visiting expert for the day from Medway Education Business Partnership.
To some, the first tasks were all rather mysterious resulting in some confused and frustrated expressions. But the power of the team soon took over and everyone found themselves contributing to the design of the programs and construction of robot vehicles to tackle more and more challenging courses. It was amazing to see students with little or no programming experience build and program a robot capable of exploring a room without crashing or navigating around a table top without falling off the edge.

Young mathematicians up to the challenge

ukmt_logo_94pxOn Monday 19 March, two students from years 8 and 9 had an opportunity to represent Dane Court at the Junior United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) Challenge. The event was attended by a mixture of schools across Kent including Simon Langton Grammar and Kent College. The event took place over several rounds including 'Cross number' and 'Relays', which were very challenging and required a high level of organisation and perception.
