(I)GCSE Results
The (I)GCSE outcomes for this year’s cohort are testament to their ambition, endeavour and determination, combined with the hard work of colleagues across the College community, whether their expert beaks in the classroom or the outstanding staff supporting them in their boarding houses. These factors came together to produce results which are significantly above the College’s pre-pandemic achievements and match 2023 and 2024’s high of top 9 grades since the introduction of the 9-1 grading system.
20% of entries were awarded the coveted Grade 9, 45% were at Grade 8 or above (equivalent to A*) and 67% were at 9, 8 or 7 (equivalent to A*A).
There were several stand-out individual performances. Seb G, Camilla G and Zara S-J achieved a flawless sweep of twelve Grade 9s each, an accomplishment attained by only a very small number of pupils nationwide. This is the fifth year in a row that the College has had at least one pupil awarded 12 or more grade 9s, an outstanding achievement. Jemima G, Tali S, Beverly W and Chloe Z each secured eleven Grade 9s, while Will F and Daisy G gained nine apiece.
Overall, 29 pupils had more than half of their grades at 9, while for almost half of this year group 9-8 (A*) was their most common grade, while the same was true for 70% of the year group at 9-7 (A*A).
We are always mindful that all of this is achieved in the context of the busy and stretching life of a full boarding school. These important academic victories are achieved by pupils whose talents in the classroom show only part of the richness they bring to – and draw from – our unique community. They have an exciting time ahead as they join our vibrant Sixth Form, having already chosen from the unparalleled range of A level and enrichment courses on offer.
