🎓 Celebrating our 2026 Results! 🎓

Today we are incredibly proud to celebrate the achievements of our pupils receiving their results.

At City of Rochester School, success looks different for every young person. Our curriculum and qualification pathways are designed to provide appropriate challenge, recognise individual strengths and prepare pupils for their next steps.

This year our pupils have achieved qualifications across GCSE, Functional Skills, BTEC and vocational pathways, with some fantastic results.

GCSE highlights include:
• Grade 7 in Art
• Grade 5s in English Language, Maths, Biology, Physics and Drama
• Further GCSE achievements across English, Maths, Science, History and Statistics

Pupils have also achieved:
• Level 2 Functional Skills qualifications
• Level 2 qualifications in vocational subjects including Animal Care, Engineering and Home Cooking
• Level 1 qualifications across Construction, Engineering and Digital Media
• Silver Arts Award at Level 2

Behind every result is an individual journey. For many of our pupils, reaching the point of completing a qualification represents years of developing confidence, communication, independence, resilience and readiness to learn.

We are proud of every young person who has worked towards a qualification this year, whatever pathway they have followed.

Congratulations to all of our pupils. 💙🎓
