GEMS International School Tropicana Metropark achieves record breaking IGCSE results

GEMS International School Tropicana Metropark are delighted to be able to celebrate record-breaking IGCSE success with our students. The results reflect the hard work and determination shown throughout this difficult time from Year 11.

Examinations were taken in May and June of this year, under extraordinarily difficult circumstances with Malaysia under lockdown. Students, families and staff navigated road blocks, and immense personal pressure in some cases, to fully take their papers in person.

The results also reflect the support that parents have given and the tuition of our dedicated teachers, who have gone above and beyond to ensure that students achieve their very best, despite unprecedented circumstance. These are significant achievements and ones for which we are incredibly proud.

Mrs Fleming, Head of Secondary, said: “The results are a credit to the hard work and commitment of our students and staff. It has been an incredibly challenging 18 months for this group of students, however, this shows our students are resilient and determined to achieve. Congratulations to everyone on their excellent achievements. We look forward to continuing study through A Level with some students and wish those who are moving on the very best of luck in their new adventures.”
