GCSE Results 2025

Today is GCSE Results Day!  We are delighted to see our Year 11 Leavers 2025 once more this morning as they return to Springfield to collect their GCSE (and other qualification) results.  Today is one of celebration and reflection as students open their results envelopes, often with the support of friends and teachers, and find out just how well they have done.  Almost all students getting GCSE results this week were in Year 6 when the first COVID-19 lockdown was announced in March 2020, and so started secondary school learning in ‘bubbles’ and without the usual transition processes in place.  Their fantastic success today is down to their resilience, hard-work and commitment, not to mention the support of their staff at the school and families.  We congratulate them all!

The school’s provisional results indicate some excellent individual achievements and a sound performance by the year group as a whole.

Notably, 69% of students achieved a grade 4 or above in an English GCSE and 63% of students achieved a grade 4 or above in the mathematics GCSE (grade 4 is the standard pass, approximately equivalent to the former grade C, and is the minimum entry requirement for the majority of A Level/Level 3 courses). 56% of the students achieved five or more GCSE passes including English and mathematics; and over half of students achieved a strong pass (grade 5 or above – approximately equivalent to the former grade B) in English and mathematics. 

A particular ‘shout out’ to the Triple Science and Statistics students for their excellent outcomes this year, with a pass rate of ~93% - fantastic!

Overall, 114 of the highest grades (8/9) were achieved. Well done to all of the Year 11 students! 

Ms Spivey, Headteacher, reflected, “I am so proud of the students and it is a joy to see their smiling faces this morning and talk with them about their exciting plans for the future.  It’s always a ‘bitter sweet’ occasion for the school community as we know it’s the last time that we will see many of our students.  We know they will be taking good friends, fond memories and a wide range of skills with them – as well as exam results – and wish then every success and happiness for the future”.

The national GCSE pass rate is expected to be broadly similar to last year, after years of flux during the pandemic and with no allowance being made in grading.
