Gresham’s Year 11 pupils are once again celebrating a superb set of GCSE results, nearly a third of which are at the highest 9 / A* grades. Six pupils have achieved a clean sweep of 9s and 8s, one of whom has achieved an outstanding 11 GCSEs all at grade 9.

As with this year’s A level and BTEC results, Gresham’s continues to buck national trends when it comes to our pupils’ academic outcomes. 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.

Thanks to the hard work of their teachers, along with the support of their families, 83 pupils have managed to achieve at least one grade 9 or 8 this year, showing that this cohort of Greshamians have been recognised for their talents across the full breadth of subjects on offer.

We congratulate the whole Year 11 cohort and are looking forward to welcoming the majority of them back into Year 12 to study A levels, BTECs and the International Baccalaureate!
