With the new GCSE grading for English and mathematics 2017 will inevitably be a year of volatility. Schools were assured that ‘comparable outcomes’ will be used to keep overall standards around grades 4 and 7 similar to last year’s grades C and A.

We are delighted to announce, 2017 has achieved the highest ever KS5 results - 33.3% of all grades were A*- B across all subjects and 77.2% of all grades were A* - C across all subjects.
