GCSE Exam Results 2025

GCSE Results Day 2025Orleans Park Year 11 students were today rewarded for their hard work, commitment and resilience by achieving a fantastic set of GCSE results; with the overall progress of all students towards their target grades being the best the school has ever achieved, with a record number of students achieving top grades 9-7.

As in previous years, students excelled in all areas of study and have been rewarded with outstanding academic achievement. Students achieved an incredibly high set of grades; 31% of students achieved grades 9 or 8 and 51% of grades were grades 9-7.

Headteacher Ms Pacey said: “ I could not be prouder of our Year 11 students this year. They have achieved the highest ever progress scores and results in the history of Orleans Park School, which is an extraordinary accomplishment. Over the past two years, I have watched this year group show real determination, resilience and ambition. They threw themselves into every opportunity, from early-morning and after-school sessions to half term interventions, always striving to achieve their very best.

These outstanding results are not only a reflection of their hard work, but also of the strong partnership between our students and the dedicated staff who supported and believed in them every step of the way. It has been a privilege to see this group set such a high standard, and I am excited to see what they go on to achieve in the future. They have made history at Orleans Park and I know they will continue to do so in the years ahead."

English and Maths combined results are some of the best the school has ever achieved; with a pass rate of 92% across both subjects and 80% of all students achieving a strong pass (grade 5) in both subjects. Almost half of all grades in both subjects awarded were grades 9 - 7. This is a phenomenal achievement by our students.

The national pass rate (grade 4 or above in GCSEs across the UK) stands at 67.4%, slightly lower than last year’s 67.6% but still above the pre-pandemic 2019 level of 67.3%, while our students delivered a remarkable 92% pass rate. This year, approximately 21.8% of GCSE entries in England achieved grade 7 or above. Our students achieved 51% at grade 7 or higher.

We also celebrate that 12% of all grades awarded to our students were at the highest grade 9- 31% of all grades being 8 and 9.

Fantastic results were also achieved in Science, with 95% of all students achieving a strong pass in Biology, Chemistry & Physics. Notably, 70% of all students achieved grades 7 and above in Biology, Chemistry and Physics; a fantastic achievement. In Combined Science, 90% of all of our students achieved a pass, with almost 23% of all students achieving a grade 8 or 9. 

An incredible number of students also scored a clean sweep of top grades 8 and 9 - congratulations therefore must go to Amelie, Louis, Eliza, Lewis, Phe, Eliza, Iona, Joseph, Hazel and Lexie. 

This is an incredible achievement and testament to the hard work that these students have put into their studies at Orleans Park School over the past two years. 

Orleans Park is incredibly proud of the progress that all students have made, with an amazing 76 students achieving an average of between one to three grades higher than their target grades for every subject. This shows how hard our Year 11 students have worked this year.

Particularly impressive was the progress made by those students who had regularly committed to attending Progress Club, tutoring sessions and various other interventions throughout the academic year. The majority of students involved significantly improved their Progress 8 score, with Oliver, Alex, Mark, Joshua and Noah making significant progress between the end of Year 10 and their GCSE examinations. Assistant Headteacher for Key Stage 4, Mr Phillips added, “through having a positive attitude and displaying a real commitment to receiving expert support, our students in Year 11 have been able to achieve the grades they want and deserve at the end of Key Stage 4. A big congratulations to all of our students."

Head of Year 11, Mrs Hill, also celebrated her year group’s success this morning: “I am over the moon with the GCSE  results that my year group have achieved! It is absolutely all down to their hard work, determination and above all, resilience - something which they have shown ever since joining us in Year 7 during COVID.  My Year 11s have worked tirelessly this year and have really embraced every intervention and method of support we have put in place, even in those cold winter months when it gets dark at 4pm. It has been an absolute pleasure to see them develop over the years and ultimately, to be rewarded with such outstanding grades. I wish them all the best for the future and am certain that they will go from strength to strength now."
