Students at every level were celebrating as they opened their examination results this summer.
At A-Level and BTEC at Charter North, over three quarters of grades were A*-B and just under half of A-Level grades were A or A*. Plus 85% of Vocational students earned a merit to distinction* grades.
The Charter School East Dulwich also celebrated their best A-Level and BTEC results since the sixth form’s inception. Over 92% of students have secured their first or second choice university or educational institution, with students going on to some very impressive things.
Headteacher Alison Harbottle simply said that they efforts were “nothing short of inspiring thanks to the incredible support from our staff and families”.
The Charter School East Dulwich also celebrated its strongest ever GCSE results, with Year 11 students surpassing previous records across every measure.
Alison Harbottle, Headteacher, said: “We are absolutely delighted with these exceptional results which reflect the hard work of students, the dedication and expertise of our staff and the unwavering support of families.
One of the most impressive improvements was in the proportion of students gaining strong passes in both English and Maths with almost two thirds achieving a Grade 5 or higher in both subjects, a 10% increase on 2024. While 34% of all GCSE grades were at Grade 7-9, with 20% at Grade 8 or higher.
Alison added: “This summer’s results reflect a significant step forward and celebration for the school community, with students on average achieving half a grade higher than last year across all subjects.”
At Charter School Bermondsey there were cheers of delight as students achieved their personal goals and successes.
Marcus Huntley, Principal, said: “My congratulations go to all of our wonderful students who received their GCSE results today.
“Of course, we want to celebrate fantastic individual performances, but at our inclusive school what truly matters is how each student, regardless of starting point, gave their best and navigated their personal journey towards their goals.
“We have seen hard work, dedication and resilience in abundance, and it is that strength of character that fills me with pride.”
At The Charter School North Dulwich, 86% of all students attained Grade 4 or above in English and Maths, with close to 80% managing a Grade 5 or above in the crucial subjects. In addition, over 60% of students gained the English Baccalaureate, with impressive outcomes across a wide range of courses.
The National BBC Social Media Team were also on hand to celebrate the school’s successes with millions of views online.
Mark Pain said: “Our students have achieved an exceptional set of GCSE results this year, so it was wonderful to see them sharing their successes today.
“We have seen achievement at the highest level, with over half of all exams sat securing a Grade 7 or above, and almost 20% of grades awarded at Grade 9. This is testament to the hard work, perseverance and resilience shown by these incredible young people.”
Cassie Buchanan OBE, Trust Leader at The Charter Schools Educational Trust, added: “At Charter, we are committed to providing better futures for children, young people and communities across London and beyond.
“We want to equip our students with the skills they need to thrive, encouraging them to have confidence in their abilities and supporting them to shine.
“We are so proud of the Class of 2025 and all that they have achieved.”
