Quite simply, these are the best results in the school’s recent history! The ‘class of 2025’ have risen to the challenge and displayed commendable levels of perseverance and tenacity resulting in an outstanding set of GCSE qualifications. All of our pupils will be able to move onto to the school’s sixth from, further education or workplace learning with the confidence of knowing that they have done their very best.
These record-breaking results were achieved by the year group who began their time with us at the height of the COVID pandemic. Their first taste of a St Christopher’s education was characterised by face masks, isolation and school closures, and so this phenomenal set of results are all the more noteworthy and commendable.
It has been particularly pleasing to see that the number of 9-7 top grades awarded have been greater than for any other year group, reinforcing the school’s long held reputation for academic excellence.
Our pupils deserve all the praise and acclaim that they will receive, and I wish them well, from those who attained at the highest level to those who made great progress and overcame challenging circumstances. They are a wonderful group of well-rounded young people I am thrilled that so many have chosen to continue their studies with us in the sixth form.
I also want to highlight the dedication and expertise of our talented teachers who have guided and nurtured them through their time at the school and to thank our parents for their unstinting support.
