Exam Results
This year, at GCSE, Redborne celebrated another great year of results achieving 68% in English and maths at grade 4 or above—still exceeding the national figure of 65%. For grade 5 and above, 44% of our students excelled, demonstrating strong performance in a challenging academic environment.
We are particularly proud of another year of positive progress, reflecting better-than-expected outcomes for our students. Mathematics continues to be a particular strength with one in three students achieving a grade better than similar students nationally. Our “open bucket” results, which includes performance in option subjects, also showed significant improvement which reflects Redborne’s diverse curriculum, enabling students to explore their passions while maintaining high academic standards.
Our sixth form results this year showed a strong improvement in Academic subjects with students achieving an average grade of a B. Vocational subjects continued to excel with students achieving a Distinction on average. These grades reflect our students making 10% more progress than students in other schools.
Strong sixth form results mean that only 6 students out of over 200 were not in sustained education or employment after leaving Redborne, nationally this is four times higher.
We look forward to building on this positive momentum in the coming years!
