Sitting formal exams in School for the first time since 2019, our Year 11 students worked incredibly hard, demonstrating their passion and enthusiasm for subjects studied, while supporting one another throughout. Their efforts and hard work have been rewarded with excellent results.
85 students in total took GCSEs in School this year, the breakdown below represents grades achieved in terms of percentages:
21.4% of grades were grade 9
77.5% of grades were grade 9–6
96.7% of grades were 9-4
Grade 9 was our most common grade.
16% of pupils have grade 9 as their most common grade.
25% students achieved only grades 9 – 7 (formerly straight A grades)
Miss Norman commented, “Congratulations to all of our students celebrating today. I am very proud of everything that these students have been able to achieve for themselves during their time with us so far both inside and outside of the classroom.
This year’s GCSE students, alongside all others across the country, are the first in three years to sit formal assessments under examination conditions; these results are testament to their resilience and determination as well as hard work and self-belief, reflecting their commitment to their achievements in life as they begin to build solid plans for their futures. Our teachers have worked tirelessly, providing expertise, encouragement, and continuous support for all our students.
I am certain that these results, their passion for learning and diligence will provide excellent foundations for their A Level studies and look forward to welcoming our students back to the Sixth Form in September feeling privileged to be part of that continued journey.”
A particular highlight was that 28% of our students scored an impressive and rare 9-9 in English language & literature and 40% scored 9-8 or better.
Karl Hayward-Bradley, our Deputy Head Academic, said “It is lovely to see so many of our students setting themselves high standards and achieving outstanding results. Some of these students were only 12 years old the last time public exams took place, and so this is testament to their hard work and tenacity in pushing for excellence. We are particularly delighted by our students’ super results in English Language and Literature. At a time when the national take-up of English at A level has been declining dramatically, we are exceptionally pleased that our students are leading the way in demonstrating their skills and commitment in this key subject. This will prepare them very well indeed for their future”
