On Friday we gathered to celebrate the achievements of our students, from all year groups, at the Annual Distribution of Prizes. Congratulations to everyone who was awarded with a prize or collected their GCSE and A-level certificates. We were honoured to welcome home former Salesian College student, Dr James Bulgin, to present the awards. 

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Our Country's Good on their fabulous production this week.

"The show was fantastic, the actors were amazing and the script was pitch perfect" said Brother Martin.

It was wonderful to welcome our new Year 7 students to Salesian College. The boys came from over 40 different feeder schools, and were placed within our four tutor groups.  

The boys were welcomed by the Headmaster at an assembly in the Chapel, who outlined their Salesian journey ahead of them, encouraged them to participate fully in school life, and ended with a sing-a-long! Following this, the boys spent time in their tutor groups having a tour of the school, setting up IT accounts and developing new friendships.  

Salesian College parents, boys and teachers were extremely proud and excited to receive some outstanding GCSE results on Thursday morning 22 August 2024.  This cohort have faced a disrupted secondary school experience but students at Salesian College have, however, surpassed previous levels of attainment with 79% of students achieving grades 9-7.

85% of all grades were 5-9

71% of all grades were 6-9

The top performing student this year was Shaurya C. achieved the perfect score of 10 top grades (10x9). Close behind were Liam G (9x9,2x8), Henry S. (9x9, 1x8), Rhys D. (9x9,1x7), Sparsh M. (8x9,1x8,1x7), William S. (8x9,1x8,1x7), Leon T. (7x9,3x8), Nicholas F. (6x9,4x8,1x6), Henry T. (5x9,3x8,2x7,1x5) and Tami O. (3x9,6x8,1x7,1x4) who completed the ‘top ten’ students. These only reflect the pinnacle of the work of all of those students who have done very well and who should be very pleased and proud of their achievements.

Mr Gerard Owens, Headmaster commented “The GCSE results achieved by all the boys in Year 11 at Salesian College are, once again, a great credit to the boys and staff who have worked so hard in partnership together.  At a time when grades have been harder to achieve across the board we are very happy to have again maintained excellent results. Parents are naturally delighted and the College is very proud that a year group and individuals who have achieved so well in sport, cultural events and many aspects of school life have now achieved such brilliant GCSE results.  These follow the excellent pass rate at A level achieved at Salesian College last week.  We look forward to welcoming the boys back into the Co-educational Sixth Form where they can look forward with confidence to their A Level studies and preparation for University and later life.”
