Exam Results

Results Days August 2021

Prior to and including 2019, students across England were assessed through public examinations, a transparent and public system, which over many years has enabled the Department for Education to measure school performance against other similar schools, and against previous years' outcomes.

Public examinations for Level 2 (GCSE) and Level 3 (A Level, IBCP and BTEC) courses were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, over the past two years the awarding bodies have awarded the students' grades in different ways using teacher assessments. 

In summer 2021 schools were required to calculate their students' GCSE and A Level (or IBCP or Level 3 BTEC) outcomes using 'Teacher Assessed Grades', which were then moderated, validated and certificated by the examination boards, working to national procedures laid down by the Joint Council for Qualifications. 

As a result of the above, in 2020 and 2021 the government has suspended the usual school performance indicators, which are published in national 'league tables. This decision was made because comparison of results between schools and with previous years would be statistically significantly unreliable and would therefore be misleading to the wider public. 

For this reason, in our press releases in 2020 and 2021 we have avoided reference to our school's statistics , which would have been our normal practice prior to and including 2019. Instead, we have focused our comments on the students' individual achievements in recognition of, and in order to celebrate their considerable effort and successes. This is the right thing to do, especially in the context of the past two years in which young people's education has faced greater disruption than at any time since World War Two.

We are humbled by the incredible achievements of our students in 2020 and 2021.

Key Stage 4 Public Examination Results

Our GCSE results have consistently ranked the progress of our students in the top 10-15% of schools nationally from 2016 to 2019. For example, our Progress 8 score for 2019 was +0.65 which means that on average our students achieved nearly two-thirds of a grade higher than students nationally, with similar end-of-Key Stage 2 starting points.

Please note that the government has not published examination performance indicators for students who completed their GCSEs in 2020. This is because COVID-19 meant that students could not sit public examinations but instead were graded using centre-assessed grades.

Key Stage 5 Public Examination Results

Our A Level results have ranked our students' progress in the top 10% of schools nationally for three out of four years, 2016-2019.

Please note that the government has not published examination performance indicators for students who completed their A Levels in 2020. This is because COVID-19 meant that students could not sit public examinations but instead were graded using centre-assessed grades. For further information about our Key Stage Five examination results to 2019, use the links below.
