  • Careers and University Fair

    Published 24/09/24

    Tuesday 17th September saw our brand new sports hall transformed into our first Careers and University Fair here at Borden Grammar School, when we welcomed over 40 representatives from local, national and international companies and Universities to meet with our Year 9-13 students and their families. 
    It was tremendous to see so many students engaged in such valuable, meaningful conversations with an interesting array of professionals, many of whom were former students of ours and all of whom had given up their time to speak to our students about their career pathways including the varied routes into employment from school. 
    All of our visitors were hugely complimentary about the enthusiasm of the students, parents and carers they spoke to; one of the university representatives in attendance remarked how ambitious and ‘switched on’ our students were and many of the employers commented on the insightful questions they were asked.
    Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive (which we will be formally collating soon) and we are already making even more ambitious plans for next year!
    With this in mind if you or the company you work for could offer us any support with future careers events, then please do get in touch with Mrs Mahoney who would be delighted to hear from you (kmahoney@bordengrammar.kent.sch.uk)

  • GCSE outstanding results

    Published 22/08/24

    The students receiving their GCSE results today have been through a huge amount of turmoil during their time in secondary education and have now had to take exams under ‘normal conditions’ with grade boundaries fully in line with pre-Covid levels. Whilst most students will likely be very pleased with their results, it is important to recognise that all students deserve praise for their resilience and courage to get to this point.

    We are really pleased to report some outstanding results for our year 11 students at Borden Grammar School. An amazing 50 of our year 11 students achieved five or more top grades (7-9) with 20 of these achieving 9 or more GCSE top grades (7-9). Grade 9 is only achieved by less than 2% nationally and this year, 2 Borden students achieved 6 grade 9s, one achieved 8 grade 9s and one student unbelievably achieved all 11 GCSEs at grade 9s.

    Overall, the students achieved really strong grades, with 39% achieving the very highest grades (7-9) and 93% of all grades being awarded grades 4 to 9. This represents some outstanding outcomes from a cohort of students who have displayed immense levels of determination and resilience in their journey at Borden. We are very proud of the success of our students and look forward to seeing many return to us in year 12, wishing the very best to those that are moving on to pursue their journey elsewhere.
