Reddam House Berkshire’s GCSE cohort are celebrating an outstanding set of results!

Year 11 students from Reddam House Berkshire are celebrating the best GCSE results in the school's history and continuing the year-on-year rise seen in academic results since the school opened in 2015. These results, earned during the COVID-19 pandemic, saw students fully engaged in both in-class and on-line learning with equal determination and commitment.

With scores greatly exceeding UK averages: 63% of all grades received were 9-7, these results sit more than twice the national average for GCSE. The success is a testament to the teachers and students, who seamlessly navigated in-class, online and hybrid lessons to great effect and wide praise from parents.

Highlights of the results include:

28% of all grades were level 9

48% of all grades were level 8 or 9

63% of grades were Levels 7-9

Head of Senior School, Mike Milner, commented; “Students at Reddam House can be very proud of their achievements today, secured in extraordinary circumstances. It was a challenge to move in and out of online learning and they have responded amazingly. Although much has been written about improvements in grades nationally, it is clear that our results have consistently been improving since we opened six years ago. The percentage of the highest grade, level 9, now sits nearly four times the national average. We are welcoming a record number of students into Sixth Form on the back of these exceptional results and expect to see this academic success continue over the next few years”.

The students will now progress to Reddam House Berkshire’s Sixth Form where they will study A levels, while being supported with their career and further education pathways by a dedicated team of advisors. Previous year’s Sixth Form graduates received results that have allowed them to access a wide range of universities including prestigious Russell Group universities, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, University College London, and Durham University.

School Principal, Tammy Howard added; “After two years of disruption we are delighted to be celebrating success with these wonderful students. This cohort is particularly unusual given they are both our first ‘Reddam’ cohort, starting with us as Year Six in 2015 joined by a number of students who joined us from a school which closed into Year Eleven. The ambition and determination of our students to ensure the pandemic did not dent their aspirations has been extraordinary and stands them in good stead for their future studies”.

One of the students collecting her results today, Clara, commented; “Reddam House Berkshire has been far more to me than merely a school for the past five years. Through a most challenging and unprecedented time, Reddam has become an unwavering constant, never faltering in the quality of its comprehensive education, but to me has always simply been a place of belonging”.

As a part of the Inspired global network of more than 70 schools across 5 continents, Reddam House Berkshire is delighted to celebrate the success of all GCSE level students in Inspired schools around the world.
