Students at The Abbey are celebrating spectacular GCSE results today. The headlines demonstrate the excellence of their achievement: 44% of all grades are at the top level of 9 and 89% are at 9-7 (A*-A). Over a quarter of the year group secured the A* equivalent grades of 8 and 9 in all their subjects.

These outcomes have been secured across 26 subject disciplines, showing the remarkable range of learning and aspiration of Abbey students. Additional Maths was a new option for students this year and they literally could not have done better, with every single candidate taking the subject securing the top grade.

The stellar results continue the trajectory of sustained excellence at The Abbey. Since 2019 our grade 9-7 success rate has improved by 10% and the level of top grade 9s has seen an extraordinary rise of almost 60%. These brilliant outcomes at GCSE have contributed to remarkable growth at the top of the school, with a 33% increase in Sixth Form numbers over recent years, taking advantage of the wonderful new Sixth Form Centre that opened last year.
