100% pass for our St Stithians Online School International GCSE students

In June of this year, our very first International GCSE group of students sat for their external examinations. In a time of a pandemic and global uncertainty our students achieved incredible results and we are immensely proud of them!

Our students achieved a 100% pass rate with 67% of the results were a level 7 (A symbol) or higher, with 38% of the cohort achieving a level 7 (A symbol) or above for all of their subjects! Our top achievers were Kristiyan Todor, Savanna Kretzschmar, Tyler Scott and Amber Masie. All of these students achieved a level 7 or above (A symbol) for all of their subjects. Pearson Edexcel uses a 1 to 9 grading system where a level 7 is equivalent to an A grade and a level 4 represents a pass.

International GCSE is a qualification offered by Pearson Edexcel that is world renowned and is accepted at universities around the globe. For South African students this qualification is the first step in their journey to tertiary studies and opens doors for them to apply to both local and international institutions. 

St Stithians Online School (SSOS) focuses on the individual and through benchmarked assessment, measures individual learning gain. It gave us great joy to see that the average learning gain for this cohort of students was 17%. This means that on average a student improved their marks by 17% over their expected results. 

These wonderful results are testament to the dedication, experience and hard work of our students, but also of our teachers and mentors. We are incredibly proud of the  conscientiousness, diligence and ownership of their own learning that our students displayed. This first group of International GCSE students have shown what is possible when they leverage the huge benefits of a purpose built, engaging and supportive online learning experience.
