GCSEs play an increasingly important role in enabling both universities and employers to assess an applicant’s academic ability and potential. GCSEs act as a useful benchmark for universities in particular, for example, a university degree course offering a year abroad option would usually require a language at GCSE. In 2024:
To achieve the top grade of 9 takes a combination of excellent teaching, hard work and determination. Happy students do well and for so many of our students to achieve 9, 8 or 7s is a credit to their brilliant teachers and the extraordinary pastoral support in place at School.
