St Leonards School pupils GCSE results 2025

St Leonards School is celebrating another year of outstanding GCSE results! This year’s pupils achieved the highest set of grades on record during regular exam years. Isn’t that amazing?

Impressive Achievements

Overall, 96% of entries were graded 9–4 (A–C equivalent). Even more impressively, 55% of all grades were 9–7 (A/A equivalent). Among Year 11 pupils following the two-year GCSE course, the achievements were even more remarkable. A whopping 98% of grades were 9–4, and 61% were 9–7. This marks the strongest set of GCSE results ever achieved at St Leonards!

Individual Success Stories

Within the year group, there were many individual successes. Four pupils achieved straight 8/9 grades across all their subjects. Additionally, sixteen pupils were awarded six or more top grades at 8/9. In total, almost 40% of all results were graded at 8/9, with 232 of the 598 total grades awarded at this highest level.

Subject highlights included:

61% of all Mathematics results at 9–7
67% of History results at 9–7
74% of pupils achieving at least one 9–7 in Science

Chris Meighen, the GCSE Coordinator at St Leonards, praised both pupils and staff: “This year’s results not only show our best yet for those achieving grades 9–7, but also highlight the huge progress made by many students since beginning their GCSEs. Many of these pupils have accomplished an excellent set of results that they can be proud of – and it’s down to the hard work of both our students and teachers.”

Deputy Head (Academic), Will Gaisford, added: “The achievement and progress of our GCSE pupils is remarkable and caps a record-breaking year of public exam results at St Leonards. With over half of all grades awarded at 9–7, our pupils are brilliantly placed to take the next steps in their education at St Leonards and to apply to the world’s best universities.”

A Bright Future Ahead

Earlier this summer, St Leonards celebrated equally outstanding International Baccalaureate Diploma and Career-related Programme results. Year 13 leavers secured places at some of the world’s top universities, including Oxford, St Andrews, UCL, Edinburgh, Exeter, Hult International Business School, Iowa State, Zurich, and Leiden.

This summer’s GCSE, BTEC, and IB results reflect the academic strength of St Leonards across all stages. They also showcase the hard work, determination, and ambition of its pupils. With such strong foundations, this year’s GCSE cohort is exceptionally well prepared to embrace the opportunities of the Sixth Form and beyond.

Why These Results Matter

The results from St Leonards are not just numbers. They represent the dedication and effort put in by both students and teachers. It’s a testament to the supportive environment that encourages learning and growth. Parents can feel confident knowing that their children are receiving an excellent education that prepares them for future challenges.

The Importance of Education

Education is a journey, and every step counts! The achievements of St Leonards pupils highlight the importance of perseverance and hard work. As parents, we want the best for our children, and seeing them excel is a source of immense pride.

Let’s continue to support our children in their educational paths, celebrating their successes and encouraging them through challenges. After all, every achievement, big or small, is a step towards a brighter future!
