Felpham Community College Students Celebrate GCSE Success!
Felpham students are celebrating improved GCSE and BTEC results, with more top grades and a significant rise in strong passes in English and Mathematics.
This year, the school has seen an increase in the number of students achieving the highest grades, with more students securing grades 7-9 than in previous years. Particularly pleasing is a 10% increase in the number of students achieving strong passes in both English and Mathematics.
Among the many outstanding individual achievements were:
· Jamie ,who achieved six GCSEs at Grade 9 and three at Grade 8.
· Daniel, who achieved five Grade 9s and three Grade 8s.
· Julia, who achieved five Grade 9s, two Grade 8s and two Grade 7s.
· Dominik, who achieved 10 GCSEs at grades 7-9.
· Maisie, Paige and Sophie, who all achieved grades 7-9 across all their qualifications.
Suzanne Pike, Headteacher, said:
“Today is a day to celebrate our young people and everything they have achieved through hard work, determination and resilience. We are incredibly proud of the results our students have achieved and of the way they have embraced every opportunity during their time at Felpham.
We are particularly pleased to see more students attaining the highest grades and a significant increase in the number achieving strong passes in both English and Mathematics. These improvements reflect the ambition of our students, the dedication of our staff and the support of families, all working together to help every young person succeed.
At Felpham, our aim is for every student to leave us with the ambition, knowledge, skills, values and experiences needed to exceed their potential and make a positive difference in the world. These results provide a strong foundation for the next stage of our students’ journeys, whether that is Sixth Form, further education, apprenticeships or employment.
We are delighted that many of our students will continue their education in our thriving Sixth Form, where they will further develop the academic, personal and leadership skills that will help them flourish in the future.
Most importantly, today’s results are about much more than grades. They reflect the growth, character and perseverance of a fantastic group of young people, and we could not be prouder of all they have achieved. We look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make in the years ahead.
I would also like to thank our entire school community for the encouragement, support and belief they provide to our students every step of the way.”
Students considering post-16 study, whether currently at Felpham or another school, are welcome to contact the College at fcc@felpham.org.uk to discuss their options and arrange a meeting. Further information can also be found on our Sixth Form website.

Jamie, Max and Max: “We are all really happy with our results, and did better than some of our predicted grades. We are planning on coming back and studying in the sixth form.”
Daniel: “I achieved higher than I expected – I have definitely improved since all my year 11 mocks! It was really hard work and I am so glad it is finished, and I am really pleased with my results. I got 5x 9s, 2x 8s and 1x 7. I am coming back to Felpham Sixth Form to study A Levels.
Maisie: “I am absolutely over the moon! I did so much better than I had expected. I achieved 1x 9, 2x 8s, 1x 7 – I am in shock! I am now looking forward to starting at FCC Sixth Form in a couple of weeks.
Dennis: “I am so happy with my results. I passed all my GCSEs, with grades 5 and above. At the moment, I can’t decide whether to go to Chichester College to study Business, Law and History – or to come back to Felpham Sixth Form. I have couple of weeks to make my mind up!”
