191 Year 11 Bexley Grammar School students have been celebrating an outstanding set of GCSE results which now include the new 9-1 grading for the more challenging, “reformed” English Language, English Literature and mathematics GCSEs. Comparisons cannot reliably be made with previous years because of these reformed qualifications but we should particularly celebrate a remarkable 63% of those English and maths grades which were achieved at 9-7 (equivalent to A*/A), higher than recent years in the old specifications! Across all subjects 58% of grades were A*/A or equivalent. These are tremendous achievements which more than measure up to previous years despite the rigorous new specifications.
