Students celebrated their GCSE results, which far outstripped the national average. Across the country, 67.6% of all grades were marked at grades 4 or above – for Colyton Grammar School this figure is 100% including English and Maths. The average grade for the whole GCSE group was grade 8.  

In all, 34% achieved the highest grade 9 and 85% of grades awarded were grades 9 to 7. Out of this year’s cohort, 29 students gained eight or more grade 9s.  

Most will go on to join the school’s Sixth Form and their success follows that of this year’s A Level students, 60% of whom achieved A* or A, more than twice the national average.  

Head Teacher Tim Harris commented “My congratulations go to this year’s cohort of GCSE students to my colleagues who have guided them to phenomenal success. Our GCSE students can now focus on the next phase as they focus on their longer-term dreams, and we look forward to welcoming the majority to our Sixth Form”
