School Results 2025

Another Year of Exceptional Achievement

Once again, our students have delivered an outstanding set of examination results, continuing a tradition of excellence at Herschel Grammar School. Each year, they rise to new challenges, exceeding expectations in both attainment and progress.

While year-on-year comparisons remain complex due to the unique grading approaches due to the pandemic, the most reliable benchmark for comparisons are the 2019 results. Even so, it’s important to recognise that the pandemic and subsequent cost-of-living crisis have created additional pressures for young people and their families. Against this backdrop, this year’s results are even more impressive.

GCSE Results

At GCSE the proportion of top grades has remained very strong, with 73% of entries awarded grade 7 or above and half of all results at the very top grade 8 or 9. 

Mathematics and the sciences continue to lead the way, with exceptional outcomes across the board.

A Level Result 2025

This year’s A Level results are among the best in the school’s history and are truly remarkable.  Year 13 students have risen to the challenge and achieved some of our best-ever results.

Below is a summary of our grades and the point scores.  These figures tell you the average grade and average points that students achieved in their academic qualifications. A points value is given to all qualifications so you can compare qualifications of different levels, size and grading systems. 

The average grade at the A level and EPQ is a Grade B+, which is very credible and represents excellent attainment.  

Looking Ahead

We are immensely proud of the dedication, resilience, and ambition shown by all our students. These results are not only a testament to their hard work, but also to the brilliant support of our staff, families, and wider school community.

Many of our A-level students will now progress to some of the country’s most prestigious universities, while a significant number of our Year 11s will continue their journey with us in the Herschel Sixth Form.

So wherever next, our students do so with confidence, a record of outstanding achievement and the skills to thrive in the future.

We wish every one of them the very best as they take their exciting next steps.
