Dear Parents/Carers
I write to inform you of the fabulous news following the distribution of the post 18 A Level, BTEC and T Level results published today and to remind relevant families of the arrangements for the forthcoming GCSE results day scheduled to take place next Thursday, 21st August 2025.
This year’s cohort made their post-16 choices in 2023, which was the first year GCSE grading returned to normal after the pandemic. We are all very proud of the achievements of the class of 2025, their hard work and determination has meant they can proudly embark on the next chapter of their young lives with confidence and hope in their abilities, it is truly well deserved.
The headline figures from today's results are as follows:
- 27.3% of all entries were A* - A grade.
- 61.8% of all entries were A* - B grade.
- 87.0% of all entries were A*- C grade.
- 99.6% pass rate
One student secured her place at Oxbridge studying Law. My thanks to Mrs Harper for her support and specialist guidance preparing and supporting our most able students. Many other students secured places to begin their undergraduate studies at Russell Group universities studying a variety of courses including three students securing a place to study Medicine and one young person preparing to study Dentistry. Students secured places to read law, engineering, teaching, nursing, psychology, business management, international relations and art based courses. Others achieved the grades needed to begin their graduate apprenticeship schemes. Some are still waiting for universities to confirm their places, some are embarking on a gap year entering the world of work.
A special mention to the following subjects for their outstanding achievements in securing the top grades higher than the national standard at A* and A grade. Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Drama, Spanish and Theology in particular excelled themselves.
