On Tuesday evening, 27th November, three members of our debating society undertook the Rotary Club debating challenge. The Year 8 team eloquently rose to the challenge and won the intermediate shield and Max Bullock won best speaker of the competition. These students were so mature and confident in their delivery, showing the commitment and time they had given to the preparation of their speeches. A true credit to Gunnersbury!
Last weekend (24-25th November) students from Year 10 and 12/13 competed in the model UN. It was a tremendous experience and our own Piotr Kozicki in Year 10 won the ‘Best Delegate’ award. They represented a number of countries and had been preparing over a number of months. Another example of how our students are willing to put their own time and commitment into all they do. A true credit to our school.
On Thursday 29th our Year 10 rugby team competed victoriously against Hampton school in the U15 Middlesex rugby final. They played at an incredibly high level and showed pure determination through every minute of the match. It was a well-deserved win and all players were a credit to the school.

We did it!! A massive thank you to all those who sponsored us. At the time of writing we have raised £3,463.88 towards the school library fund. We could not have done it without your help. An additional thank you to all those who came out and cheered us on along the route – especially our Gunnersbury Cheer Squad (complete with banner!) who staked out the 6 and 10 miles markers. A final thank you to Fuller’s who sponsored our team shirts.

Once again the talents and endeavour of our students allied to the tremendous efforts of our staff have enabled superb outcomes in the GCSEs and A-Levels this year.
The pupils within Year 11 achieved a phenomenal pass rate in both English and Maths GCSE of 88% (Level 4 and above). A third of the examinations were scored at Level 9-7 (A*/A and above). Early estimates indicate a Progress 8 score similar to that of last year (+0.78). The success of these students will no doubt place Gunnersbury Catholic School amongst the very best schools in the country.
Superb outcomes have also been realised by our Year 13s in their A-levels. Over 44% of their grades were at A*/A! Such fantastic achievement has enabled these students to secure places at the very best universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL Warwick, to name but a few. They will be reading a variety of subjects including Medicine, Law, Economics, Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE), Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering, Economics and Mathematics.
Congratulations to all of our fantastic students we wish them much success and happiness in this next exciting stage of their lives.
