GCSE Exam Results
Exam Results 2023
Performance measures based on qualification results from 2022/23 cannot be directly compared to measures from 2021/22. This is because a different grading approach was used in 2021/22, to take account of the impact of the pandemic.
In 2022/23 there was a return to pre-pandemic standards for GCSEs, AS and A levels, with protection built into the grading process to recognise the disruption that students have faced.

Student Destinations
Our 2023 cohort moved on to excellent destinations including Esher College, Richmond upon Thames College, Strodes College, Tiffin Sixth Form, Waldegrave Sixth Form, Orleans Park Sixth Form and Kingston College.
To support student choices we hold a Post-16 evening each year for our Year 11 students and their families; students follow a Destination Post-16 programme in their Enrichment lessons; college and post 16 destination application and interview support are offered; work experience opportunities alongside sixth form taster lessons, university campus visits and a programme of post 16 support for students with SEND. All students in Year 11 have a one-to-one meeting with a member of the Senior Leadership Team at the start of the autumn term to discuss their Post-16 options and ensure their choices are aspirational and achievable.
Students are supported by a Careers Advisor from the Educational Development Trust, Achieving for Children, who provide 1:2:1 support to students at different points in the school year. Alongside this we have a CEIAG coordinator, Ms Broadbent, who develops and leads our careers curriculum.
