Latest Exam Results
2023 is the first year that GCSE and A Level examinations have returned to being assessed in the way that they were in 2019 and before. Changes that were made for the 2022 cohort to account for the disruption caused by the pandemic have now been removed; these included modifications to the content that was examined and more lenient thresholds. Therefore, these examinations provided a rigorous challenge to the pupils that sat them, who have nevertheless experienced much disruption during their schooling.
