Performance
GCSE EXAM RESULTS 2025
The year 11 cohort class of ‘25 had an unusual start to their secondary school career.
They joined the school in September 2020 having missed most of year 6 due to COVID.
Lock- downs followed in November and January and they spent much of KS3 in ‘bubbles’
Progress and Resilience
The year group showed great resilience in spite of the above.
On entry to the school we used the nationally respected CAT tests to baseline our pupils and identify strengths and weaknesses.
CAT tests also predict future attainment.
By comparing our pupils' attainment with the CAT test baseline predictions we can see that our pupils have made excellent progress .
On average pupils' achievement is plus 0.25 , with many pupils achieving 2 or more grades higher than predicted.
Headline figures
Progress was +0.25 (based on CAT tests)
This shows a tremendous improvement compared with the progress score of -0.36 from 2024.
Attainment of all pupils on roll (awaiting DFE confirmation) was 3.8
In almost every subject we had pupils achieving the top grades of 7 to 9.
In addition over 35% of pupils achieved a top grade (grade 7-9) in at least 1 subject
Attainment of pupils on roll who sat exams at end of KS4 - 4.2
N.B A small no. of pupils were on roll but were attending other establishments (e.g.college) due to a variety of circumstances including mental health concerns.
Removing these pupils gives a more accurate picture of pupil attainment.
Post-16 Destinations
Our 2024 cohort moved onto excellent destinations including Highgate School, Winchmore School, The Compton School, Southgate School and Edmonton County. Other students moved to a college setting to continue their studies including our very own Laurel Park Sixth Form.
High performing students are encouraged to apply for scholarships and bursaries where appropriate - the school will support students the relevant students from Year 10 onwards with this process.
To support student choices, we hold a 6th form and colleges fair for our Year 10 and 11 students. Students also follow a post-16 programme in their Enrichment lessons. College and post-16 destination application and interview support is offered to all students through their 1-2-1 appointments with the school Careers Advisor, Mrs Brown. We also have a well stocked Careers Library which allows students to explore local options and review prospectuses. Alongside this, our Lead Practitioner for Careers, Ms Gray; develops and leads our careers curriculum from Year 7. We support all students to ensure their choices are aspirational and achievable.
