This year, 56% of all GCSE grades were awarded at grades 9-7, reflecting the high levels of achievement and aspiration across the year group. Impressively, 100% of pupils achieved five or more GCSEs at grades 9-4, demonstrating the breadth and consistency of success throughout the cohort.

Performance across a number of subject areas was particularly noteworthy. In Science, every pupil achieved at least a grade 4 in either Combined or Separate Sciences, with 70% of pupils studying Separate Chemistry and Physics achieving grades 9-7. Excellence was also evident across a range of disciplines, with all pupils taking Food Preparation & Nutrition, Religious Studies and Computer Science achieving grades 9-7.

Alongside these impressive collective outcomes, several students achieved outstanding individual success. Belle B, Susanna D, Elsie G and Menna L each secured nine GCSEs at grades 9 and 8, an exceptional accomplishment that reflects both their dedication and the supportive, nurturing environment at St Gabriel’s.

Principal Ricki Smith praised the achievements of the year group, saying:

"Our Year 11 students have achieved a fantastic set of results, reflecting not only their hard work and dedication but also the holistic education that is at the heart of St Gabriel’s. We are proud to nurture confident, capable young people who leave GCSE study ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities of Sixth Form and beyond."

Head of Upper School, Jennifer Shillaw, added:

"These outstanding results are a testament to the determination, resilience and ambition of our students, supported by the dedication of our staff and the partnership we enjoy with families. We are immensely proud of all they have achieved and look forward to seeing them continue to flourish as they take the next steps in their educational journey."

With many Year 11 pupils choosing to continue their education at St Gabriel’s Sixth Form this September, the School looks forward to supporting them as they pursue new academic opportunities, develop their leadership skills and prepare for successful futures at university, in apprenticeships and beyond.
