I am delighted to share another outstanding set of GCSE results for Cranmore pupils. Building on the success of our inaugural GCSE cohort last year, this year’s results represent a further significant step forward and reflect the continued dedication of our pupils, staff and families. I am particularly pleased that a third of all grades were awarded 9-8 (the old A*) and more than half of all grades were achieved at Grades 9-7 (the old A*/A), demonstrating further growth in the proportion of the very highest grades attained by our pupils.

Additionally, 77% of all grades were awarded at Grades 9-6 (the old A*-B), an increase on last year’s highly impressive achievements. All of these measures are more than twice the national average. These results are a testament not only to academic ability, but also to the determination and commitment shown by our Year 11 pupils throughout their studies. There were also some outstanding individual performances, with our highest achieving pupil gaining 10 Grade 9s and a Distinction in Extended Maths. We are also delighted that all of our early-take Year 10 linguists gained the top Grade 9 in French or Spanish.
