GCSE Results 2023

 

Blue Coat students have excelled in their GCSE examinations in 2023. We are absolutely delighted with the results they have achieved. This year’s results see a return to the pre-pandemic grading system with no allowance made for the challenges of COVID. With over two thousand GCSEs being sat, we are thrilled that over 27% of these grades were achieved at Grade 7 or above which is significantly higher than the national average. Whilst our most able students have performed exceptionally well, we are particularly pleased that over 75% of our students passed both their English and Maths GCSEs which is again significantly above national average and maintains the strong GCSE results profile of previous years .  Our progress score is positive which demonstrates that Blue Coat students have performed better than the national average. We are proud of our students and the hard work they have displayed supported by excellent staff and committed parents/carers whom have enabled them to flourish.  Most importantly, Blue Coat students embody our vision and values in ‘living life in all its fullness’.

We were delighted to see so many happy faces when the students picked up their results and the number of students choosing to continue their education into the sixth form remains high. We are also enrolling a number of external applicants for September and look forward to welcoming all students to our brand new purpose-built sixth form building which opens on September 6^th , 2023.
