  • Outstanding 2025 GCSE Results!

    Published 21/08/25

    Number 1 school in the borough!

    We are incredibly proud to celebrate the achievements of our Year 11 students today. The nerves, tension and apprehension could be clearly seen on their faces as they tentatively opened the envelopes to see the grades they had been awarded. 

    Their hard work, determination, and commitment have truly paid off, with results that reflect both individual excellence and the support of their teachers and parents.

    An impressive 46% of students achieved grades 9-7, a testament to their academic excellence and the dedication of our teaching staff. These top grades reflect the high standards our students have set for themselves. Even more impressively, 91% of students achieved five or more GCSEs including English and Maths. 

    Undoubtedly; their outstanding application in lessons, at home and throughout the exam period; brilliantly supported by their teachers and parents; was worthwhile!  Our Year 11s now have doors to very exciting futures, opened very wide indeed.

    Very well done to all!
