GCSE Results 2025

Today, St Mary’s School community is celebrating the fabulous set of results achieved by our Year 11 students. The way in which this year group approached their GCSEs was impressive. From their revision and commitment to preparing for their GCSEs in the months leading up to examination season, to the calm and composed manner with which they entered and sat each and every paper. The results they are receiving today are a testament to their hard work, perseverance, and resilience.

With almost half of all grades at the highest grades 9-7, we are pleased to say that our students have done themselves proud. There were many individual and departmental successes. At English GCSE, 71% of grades were the top grades 9-7!

We are excited to be welcoming these students into our Sixth Form to continue their educational journey at St Mary’s. During the next two years, they will gain further independence and confidence in their studies, as well as build invaluable working relationships with their teachers to allow them to continue to flourish and exceed their potential once again in two years’ time when they receive their A level results.

In our fantastic purpose-built Sixth Form Centre, Cedar House, these students will broaden their horizons with our exciting Sixth Form SMS Ignite Programme, including academic enrichment, leadership skills and service learning. Many of students will also opt to study the Extended Project Qualification alongside a choice of 27 A level subjects, adding further breadth to their curriculum in preparation for their careers at university and beyond.

Mrs Adams, Headmistress said,

‘The resilience and perseverance shown by this GCSE cohort cannot be underestimated. They have shown tremendous determination to do their very best and have come out with a fantastic set of GCSE results. They are sure to have very bright futures ahead of them in the Sixth Form as they further their knowledge and skills with their A level curriculum and as they work towards their future university and career goals.

Congratulations also to their wonderful teachers and to all their family members who have supported them along the way; it is a day to celebrate the successes of all our Year 11 students!”
