In English, 75 per cent of students achieved a grade 4 or above whilst in mathematics 77 per cent of students achieved a grade 4 or higher. In science, 74 per cent of students achieved two good science GCSE passes.
There were some exceptional individual performances with 10 per cent of the cohort achieving seven or more passes at grades 7, 8 or 9. This is all the more noteworthy given the recent reforms to the GCSE curriculum and the significantly more challenging examinations. Moreover, 22 per cent of all grades awarded were 7 or higher.
