Bournemouth School is celebrating some outstanding GCSE results – amongst the best ever! One student achieved the remarkable feat of achieving grade 9s in all 11 of his GCSE subjects. A further 20 students achieved a “clean sweep” of grades 9-7 in all of the 11 subjects that they studied.
The year group followed a broad and balanced curriculum and sat on average 10.79 GCSEs, with three quarters of students achieving a strong pass in the EBacc. Virtually all students achieved 5 or more GCSEs at grades 5-9, with 83% achieving 10 or more grades at this level. More than a third of the cohort achieved 10 or more GCSEs at grades 7-9 with 70% achieving 5 or more GCSEs at grades 7-9. The total average points score rose to 75.9 (A8 = 73.48, compared to 70.91 in 2023), with the average grade achieved being a grade 7.
Headteacher, Dr Dorian Lewis, commented, “We are very proud of the efforts and resilience shown by our students. It is hard to quantify the effect of the last few years upon these young people, but their education and overall well-being were definitely affected – and yet these GCSE outcomes are amongst the best ever at Bournemouth School. I am grateful for the support of parents and the tireless efforts of my colleagues. With these exceptional results, our students are well placed to take their next steps, whatever they may be; we are delighted that the vast majority will be continuing their studies with us. Following last week’s excellent A level results, this is a further validation of the judgements made by Ofsted.”
