Examination Results 2024

Grey Coat Students - GCSE Results 2024

Grading has continued as normal this summer, following the return to pre-pandemic standards last year. Our GCSE and CNAT results 2024 have remained high at all levels, continuing a long-standing tradition of our students attaining well above the national average, and have exceeded our 2019 and 2023 examination results.

This tremendous outcome is a testimony to the expert quality of teaching and assessment that takes place at our school; the excellent pastoral provision our staff provide; the focus and resilience of our students; and the support of our parents and carers.

We are therefore delighted to share our provisional GCSE grades 2024 with you. Please note that adjustments may follow once any re-marks are completed.

95% of our students took examinations in eight or more subjects this year compared to 25.1% of students in England. Of our students who took eight or more GCSEs, 20% attained all grades 9-7 in their subjects, which is a great achievement.

73% of our students took 10 or more GCSEs in 2024, compared to 12.2% of students in England. Among that group, 75 of our students gained at least one grade 9, 52 students gained at least two grades 9, 37 students gained at least three grades 9, 29 students gained at least four grades 9.

At the very top end, one of our students, Camille Ferrand, took 14 GCSEs and gained all grades 9 – a truly exceptional achievement. To put this into context, only 1.7% of all students in England took 11 or more subjects at GCSE in 2024; and of those, only 145 gained all grades 9.

Most of our students will take up places to study A-Levels in our Sixth Form. We look forward very much to welcoming them back to school in September, and to seeing them flourish and grow. Others will take up courses at institutions elsewhere, suited to their interests and ambitions, and we look forward to hearing how they get on. Our door is always open for our Old Greys!

A huge “thank you” is due to all our staff, who have worked passionately and tirelessly to support our students throughout their courses, both academically and pastorally, and who inspired them to maintain the highest aspirations in such difficult circumstances.

We would like to thank all our students for the many contributions they have made to life at The Grey Coat Hospital over the past few years, and wish them every success, happiness and fulfilment in the future.

Overall, we expect this year’s cohort to take up courses spanning all disciplines, with broadly half pursuing the sciences including mathematics and engineering; and around a third choosing humanities and social sciences. Others will study languages and the arts, take Art or Design Foundation courses, embark on high-quality apprenticeships, or enjoy a planned GAP year. We are delighted that our broad A Level offer and inspirational teaching have facilitated such a wide array of destinations.

A huge and heartfelt “thank you” goes to all our staff, who have worked tirelessly to support and to inspire our students to have the highest aspirations despite any challenges they have faced.

We are incredibly proud of all our students and wish them every success. We look forward very much to them coming back to share the next chapter in their educational journey with us!
