We’re incredibly proud of our GCSE results this year where the value-added score for the cohort was an amazing +2.0 based on CAT4 predictors. This means that St Edmund’s pupils achieved two grades higher on average per subject than was expected for that pupil’s ability following external testing at the start of their GCSE programme.

This year we posted a fantastic 99% pass rate (grades 4-9) against a national average of 73%. All students achieved a 100% pass rate in English Language, Mathematics and Sciences, with two-thirds of passes at grades 7-9 (the old A*/A grades. The proportion of grades awarded at 7-9 (the old A*/A grades) was an impressive 67% compared to a national average of 26%. Almost half of all students achieved seven or more grades 7-9 with a quarter of pupils receiving nine or more grades 7-9.’’
