GCSE Results 2023 – The Highlights

  • Over 85% of all GCSE grades were at grade 4 or higher
  • Over 33% of all grades were grade 7 or higher
  • 84% of students gained at least a grade 4 in both English and Mathematics
  • 60 students achieved at least 8 GCSEs at grade 7 or higher

This performance ensures that students can smoothly progress to further study, with all doors open to them. Their successes lie not just in their academic progress, but also in the way in which they have been a real asset to the school as a whole, acting as excellent role models who have made a really positive contribution to the wider school community.

A Level Results 2023 – The Highlights

  • 22 students gained at least 3 A*/A grades or better, with eight achieving this high standard across four subjects
  • 50% of all grades achieved were at A* to B
  • Over 75% of all grades achieved were at C or better

This year we celebrated yet another set of exceptionally strong A Level results with great individual achievements. These results are particularly impressive given our open-access entry, providing opportunities for all students to achieve. Three students who held offers from Oxford or Cambridge have the grades required to start their courses and six students have achieved entry for prestigious medicine and veterinary science courses. Nearly 200 St Bartholomew’s students will be taking up places at universities across the country and many others have secured places on competitive apprenticeship programmes.
