We were delighted with our results at both GCSE and A-Level in 2023 as they showed significant and sustained improvements on 2019 – the year which this set of results are comparable against due to national grade distributions. The results are testament to all of the hard work of students and staff and our rapid and focused improvement agenda.
In English, our results were significantly above national averages in all categories, particularly the 9-7 and 9-5 bands:
| English National | English CTA | |
| % achieving 9 – 7 and above | 18.8% | 23.7% |
| % achieving 9 – 5 and above | 55.5% | 66.9% |
The school’s overall average attainment 8 grade was 4.56 (the average grade achieved by students in their best 8 qualifications); an increase on 2019 (4.50). Our provisional progress 8 score is 0, which means that our students are making expected progress from their starting point in Year 7 to the end of Year 11. Outcomes were also very good in Art, Computer Science, French and Philosophy and Ethics. The link below provides further information regarding the progress 8 measure:
Outcomes in our vocational subjects were once again very strong with 67% of all grades in Music being awarded distinction or distinction*.
At key stage 5, we also made significant improvements: the average grade increased from C- (26.83 points) in 2019 to C= (31.40) in 2023.
36% of all A-Level entries were awarded A* – B compared to 23% in 2019; 54% of all entries for applied general courses (BTECs and Cambirdge Nationals) achieved distinction or distinction*. In IT, 67% of students achieved distinction or distinction*.
We also celebrated a 99.5% pass rate across all courses.
