At Gresham’s we strive to educate the whole child with an emphasis on their intellectual, spiritual and physical development. Happy pupils are successful learners and our broad curriculum delivers a tailored approach to each pupil’s education whether through GCSEs, A levels, BTECs or the IB Diploma. We welcome children of all abilities and our exam results are excellent.
In 2024, at A level, 46% were graded at A* or A, well above the national average of 28%, while 88% were graded A*-C, a significant increase on last year’s outcomes. Pupils taking BTEC subjects also performed very strongly with 47% of their results at Distinction or Starred Distinction.
Our 2024 GCSE results saw nearly a third of Year 11 achieve the highest 9 / A* grades. Six pupils achieved a clean sweep of 9s and 8s, one of whom has achieved an outstanding 11 GCSEs all at grade 9. While nationally the grade 9-4 pass rate fell again to 67.4%, ours is the highest ever at 96.6% and over half of all grades are at the coveted 9-7 level.
We pride ourselves on the personalised level of support given to each pupil, many of whom have secured offers from Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, York and Edinburgh and many other prestigious universities in the UK and abroad.
