Girls at St Swithun’s School, Winchester are celebrating excellent examination results with 29.5% of entries achieving the top grade 9 in the new I/GCSE courses, compared to the national average of 4.3%.

Brentwood School students collected their GCSE results today and despite the national trend suggesting that the top ‘9’ grade was fairly unobtainable with only 4% of pupils achieving one, 18% of Brentwood School pupils received 9s in those subjects graded in the new way. A remarkable 29 students received all A*As / 9-7s, in the School’s third best results in ten years.

For every school across the country comparison of results with previous years has become almost an impossibility, writes Headmaster Simon Williams. Not only do we have a mix of letter and number grades across the subjects, in some individual subjects you may even also have a mix of letters and numbers where some pupils have taken an exam a year early as our top Mathematicians have, and all those were graded A*.

​Felsted pupils have recorded outstanding results in their GCSE exams this summer, following on from excellent results in A Levels and record results in the International Baccalaureate.

Llandovery College is today celebrating the success of pupils securing some of the highest grades in the UK.

Haileybury pupils are today celebrating an outstanding set of GCSE results, the best in the School’s history by some margin.
