Celebrating GCSE Success at Gad’s Hill School 🎉
We are delighted to celebrate another year of strong GCSE outcomes, with exceptional individual achievements, impressive results across the curriculum and value-added performance that demonstrates the progress our pupils make throughout their time at Gad’s Hill.
Among this year’s highest achievers:
⭐ Carys achieved an outstanding nine Grade 9s and three Grade 8s, alongside her role as a Lead Cadet and extensive involvement with the CCF team.
⭐ Shivam, who joined Gad’s Hill in Nursery, achieved seven Grade 9s and three Grade 8s
⭐ Junior, our outgoing Head of School, achieved five Grade 9s and four Grade 8s alongside his extensive leadership responsibilities
As an academically non-selective school in an area with a large number of grammar schools, we are particularly proud to see our most academically able pupils achieving at the very highest levels, while also benefiting from the pastoral care, leadership experiences and wider opportunities that form such an important part of a Gad’s Hill education.
There were strong performances across the curriculum too, including:
• 56% of Geography grades at Grade 7+
• 56% of History grades at Grade 8+
• 54% of Psychology grades at Grade 7+
• 50% of Computer Science grades at Grade 7+
• 45% of Drama grades at Grade 8+
Beyond the headline grades, our value-added data tells another important part of the story. Comparing GCSE outcomes with nationally benchmarked assessments taken when pupils enter Upper School, this year’s results show significant progress across a number of subjects, including +1.9 grades in History, +1.8 in Drama, +1.4 in Food & Nutrition, +1.3 in Geography and +1.1 in English Literature.
A huge congratulations to every member of the Class of 2026. We are incredibly proud of what you have achieved and wish you every success as you take your next steps.
