The three Gauteng-based Reddford House schools, part of the Inspired Education Group, a leading global premium schools group, delivered excellent results with a 100% matric pass rate in the IEB National Senior Certificate exams.
The combined Reddford House matriculants – from Northcliff and Blue Hills in Johannesburg and The Hills in Pretoria – achieved a total of 57 distinctions. These results are particularly impressive considering that the schools are non-selective.
Amanda Thompson is Reddford s top achiever having received a Commendable Achievement from the IEB for being ranked within the top 5% of learners in five subjects and achieving a rating of seven (an A) in Life Orientation in the National Senior certificate examination of November 2020.
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga announced the 2020 matric exam results on Monday, 22 February, in Pretoria.
In the past, Motshekga would invite top-performing students from across South Africa to breakfast on the morning of the matric pass rate announcement.
But, because of the pandemic, none of the top achievers travelled to the announcement event this year; instead, they joined in virtually.
Although the overall pass rate has steadily increased over the years, the pandemic threw a spanner in the works for the class of 2020 who spent almost six months of their academic year at home because of the lockdown.
This not only affected learner outcomes but also exacerbated the inequalities that exist in the public education system.
