Academic excellence

We are delighted to be celebrating another year of outstanding GCSE results, with the most commonly awarded grade being a Grade 9, over half of all GCSEs graded 9 or 8 and almost three quarters graded 9 - 7.

In addition to the impressive grades, the value-added score that pupils achieved this year is just below +1, meaning pupils make progress almost by one grade as a results of the inspirational teaching and exceptional academic support that the pupils have received from their teachers.

In Further Mathematics, the pupils achieved 94% Grade 9-7 with 50% achieving a Grade 9 and in Computer Science 81% of Grades were 9-7. Furthermore, in the sciences 80% of Grades were 9-7.
