 Chester International School (CIS) is delighted to share its results day celebrations, reflecting the hard-work, determination and resilience of students who have faced the 2-year challenge of the Middle Years Programme and GCSE’s.

Jenna Mason (photographed above) was emotional as she learnt about her 5 grade 9’s and collection of 8’s.  Jenna said: ‘I am so proud of myself, especially my science grades.  I am going on to study Math, Economics and Spanish.’

Learners arrive to CIS in year 10 and hit the ground running as they undertake their international pathway.  The school is proud of its continued success in providing an offer that champions linguistic diversity, with students completing GCSE’s across six modern foreign languages. 

Student Libby Young (pictured below) said: ‘I am so proud for challenging myself to do an extra GCSE in Mandarin’.  She went on to say: ‘I have had amazing support from all of the staff throughout my time here and look forward to continuing onto the Diploma Programme in the Sixth Form’.

Many students achieved impressive individual successes, including those who earned a string of grade 9’s.  Luciana (pictured below) achieved 5 grade 9’s and is looking forward to studying Biology and Spanish as part of her IB Diploma Programme in September.

Principal Katrina Brown reflected on this year’s results: “We are proud to bring the IB offer to Chester.  Our prospective Diploma Students have achieved fantastic GCSE outcomes which will set them up for their sixth form courses.  Our vocational route students have secured their grades to embark on an exciting Career programme.  Learners that arrive at CIS with a view to engaging in an international education, love it and do very well here and that’s what it is all about.’

The school’s holistic approach, focusing on both academic and personal development, continues to shine through.  Many of the successes cannot be measured by a statistic of headline figure.  This year’s results highlight the strength of CIS’s diverse curriculum and the dedication of the staff to ensure that every learner has the opportunity to achieve their potential.
