Data indicates that 55% of pupils achieved grades 4 and above in English and Maths.
2024 is the second year of the return to pre-pandemic grading; students receiving their results yesterday were in Year 7 when the first COVID lockdowns were announced.
Cllr Suzy Horton, Portsmouth City Council’s Cabinet Member for Children, Families and Education, said:
“It was a joy to be at both Mayfield and Miltoncross Academy this morning to share their GCSE results days.
“This group were in year 7 when the pandemic hit and have had to deal with so much disruption in their lives. I thank them for playing their part in the pandemic response and appreciate how hard both pupils and teachers have worked these past few years to overcome the impact.
“Congratulations to all Portsmouth students on their exam results. You should all be incredibly proud and remember to always surround yourself by people who care about you and your future, whatever your results.”
