We are thrilled and immensely proud to announce that, once again this year, our students have excelled—achieving an excellent set of thoroughly well-deserved GCSE results.
We are delighted that their hard work and tenacity, supported by their parents/carers and our dedicated teachers, has been recognised and rewarded today. This summer, we are pleased to share that on average, every single student has achieved more than half a grade higher, in every subject taken, than their DFE National comparative expected grade.

As a school, Trust, and team of staff, we couldn’t be prouder of their success and achievements.
This summer, it’s difficult to highlight outstanding individual subjects for exceptional performance, since across every subject sat, almost half of all grades were at a strong GCSE pass level (Grade 5 or above). However, notable subject attainment was achieved in:
French, where 86% of all grades were at Grade 9–7.
Chemistry, Business Studies, Computer Science, and RE GCSEs, where half of all grades attained by students were at the highest level (Grade 9–7).
Headline figures:
53% of students achieved one or more GCSEs at Grade 9–7.
29% of students achieved three or more GCSEs at Grade 9–7.
20% of students achieved five or more GCSEs at Grade 9–7.
75% of students attained a standard pass (Grade 4 or above) in both English and Maths.
Special recognition for outstanding attainment or progress goes to:
Alex Norgrove; Connor Walton; Erin Shortt; Fynn Beaumont; Grace Franks; Hattie Daly; Henry Tromholt Christensen; Isaac Grey Smart; Jack Marland-Muir; Jamie Winter; Kyle Kirkham; Libby Shilvock; Oliver Soper; Poppy Meyrick
Mrs Clifton, Headteacher, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled with our students’ results this year. It’s a credit to their hard work and the support of their families. I’d also like to thank our staff, parents, carers, and the wider community for their continued commitment—these results reflect the strength of our shared efforts.
I’d also like to recognise the achievements of all students receiving results across the UK today. Your dedication deserves to be celebrated with friends and family.”
