ICT

Key Stage 3

Cromwell's year 9 students again took part in the national online test which takes place around May each year. From its early stages, when Cromwell was one of only 7 schools in Cambridgeshire taking part in the test, participation has increased. This year there were 1762 schools and 172 225 students who took part. The test is carried out completely on computer, online and the students' efforts are automatically sent to the servers of the QCA at the end of each of the two 50 - minute tests.

Once again Cromwell's students performed very well, with a higher percentage of students achieving the key levels of 5 and 6 than those nationally.

Congratulations to the teachers, support and technical staff in the ICT department, but most of all to the students themselves, for a truly excellent effort

GCSE

The ICT results continue to rise at Cromwell, as do the school's as a whole. The school's A* to C performance was about 58% but results in ICT were even better with last year's 67% A* - C being improved yet again to 75.8%. This is the 5th consecutive year of improvement. Again, congratulations go to all involved, especially the hard-working students.
