Exam Results

As a non-selective school we are proud of all our pupils’ achievements, and strive to ensure they reach and hopefully exceed their potential as indicated by baseline testing.

We monitor progress towards GCSE exams carefully, and advise and support our pupils as they apply for post-16 education at schools and colleges across Sheffield and sometime further afield.

Every Year group is a unique collection of around 45 individuals, so our “headline” percentage results inevitably vary year on year, but last year’s results are typical of our success:

In 2024, 95% of our pupils gained at least 5 GCSE passes at grade 4 and above (including English & Maths), and 74% of pupils gained at least one grade 7 (equivalent to a grade A). In total, 38% of all GCSE grades gained were at grade 7 or higher.

Individualised Learning & Pupil Progress

As part of their enrichment programme, pupils braved the rain and visited The Botanical Gardens on Thursday morning to complete two challenges. Their first quest was to work in teams to solve the Riddle Trail, with clues penned by local author Berlie Doherty inscribed onto pieces of artwork hidden amongst the plants and features of the garden. Their second mission was to find all items on their Botanical Bingo sheet and take a photo as evidence. Items to be hunted down included an insect on a flower, moss growing on a rock and of course, no trip to the Botanical Gardens would be complete without tracking down its famous bear! Pupils will be asked to compile a photo montage of their snaps and bring it to their English lessons this term to be used as the basis for creative writing. We were very impressed with the way in which pupils approached this experiential learning opportunity – engaging with nature, noticing the things around them and working effectively as teams. Congratulations to Ms Leyland's group who completed the Riddle Trail in the fastest time; a team treat will be heading their way soon as a prize! Image
