Record 2025 GCSE Results at The Cowplain School

We would like to congratulate our 2025 GCSE students on achieving record results for The Cowplain School.

Maths and English GCSE results rose, so over 70% of students achieved a Grade 4 in Maths, with 70% also achieving the same in English and/or English Literature. The percentage of those achieving both English and Maths at Grade 4 was the highest ever achieved at the school. Those achieving Grade 5 in both subjects also rose 5%, to 39%, with similar results at Grade 5 achieved by both boys and girls.

We also saw a high number of grades 7-9, with 27 x Grade 9s, 57 x Grade 8s and 89 x Grade 7s achieved by our students across their subjects!

As well as the excellent results achieved in Maths and English, we saw great achievement in many other subjects; for example, a number of the ‘EBACC’ subjects performed exceptionally well, with 100% of Biology students achieving a Grade 4, 95% in Chemistry, with 90% in Physics. 78% of students achieved that benchmark in French, with Geography at 65% and History at 60%, with nearly all our students sitting one of those humanities subjects. Music saw 92% of students achieving a Grade 4, with our vocational subjects also performing well; 100% of Hair and Beauty students achieved a Grade 4, 67% in Food and 61% in Engineering.

A number of individual students achieved exceptional GCSE results; for example, JW achieved an unbelievable 10 x Grade 9s and a Grade 7 in Further Maths; JB, 3 x Grade 9s, 3 x Grade 8s, 2 x Grade 7s and 1 x Grade 6; AD, 2 x Grade 9s, 5 x Grade 8s, 2 x Grade 7s; NB, 3 x Grade 9s, 4 x Grade 7s, 3 x Grade 6s; EH 1 x Grade 9, 3 x Grade 8s, 5 x Grade 7s and 1 x Grade 6.

There were many more students who achieved outstanding GCSE results, so huge congratulations to the class of 2025 on their success in achieving those exceptional results.
