Congratulations to all our students on achieving outstanding GCSE results again this year. Students are once again to be congratulated for their outstanding successes at GCSE. 80% of grades were awarded at grade 7 or above, and of these 37% were grade 9.

As well as some overall excellent results for the school, with 100% of our Year 11 students securing at least five good GCSE grades, there were also 89% of our students who achieved five or more GCSEs at grade 9-7. In addition, 73% of our Year 11 students secured an impressive eight or more GCSEs at grade 9-7.

There are also some exceptional individual stories. Hafsah Asim achieved an outstanding 11 GCSEs at grade 9. Hafsa Hussain and Mazin Murrad Abdullahi Ahmed Mohammed who each achieved ten GCSEs at grade 9, alongside an A in Additional Maths FSMQ. Meghna Menon not only achieved ten GCSEs at grade 9 and an A in Additional Maths FSM, but was also the highest performer in OCR’s GCSE Design and Technology this summer.
