Exam Results 2025
We are extremely proud of all our Year 11 students who received their GCSE results this summer. There were so many individual and collective achievements to celebrate, and we are so pleased that the students have been able to achieve such fantastic results! The school has continued to demonstrate the positive trend in results.
Maths and English have continued to improve and go from strength to strength. Other areas of strength were Textiles, Biology, Music, PE and Food. One of the students in our Textiles cohort has been commended by the Exam Board for being a top performer nationally.
“I am delighted with the set of results that this year group has achieved and that we have been able to celebrate such positive results once again. Considering their starting point during COVID, students have demonstrated resilience and ambition to get to this point in their journey. It is fantastic to see that the results have gone from strength to strength. In addition, I want to thank our staff and parents for going above and beyond with their support. A huge well done to everyone!”
Mr Grant Duff, Headteacher
