A Level results - 2011 headlines

Overall GDST schools improved upon the successful 2010 results at a time when the increase in top grades ‘stalled’ nationally.

At A*/A the GDST saw an increase of 1.3% whereas the national figure was the same as last year.

The GDST A* percentage is well above both independent schools figures (ISC refers to the members of the Independent Schools Council, JCQ to the Joint Council for Qualifications and encompasses all independent schools).

Nationally the percentage of A grades was the same as last year and this was the first time that the increase has ‘stalled’ for 15 years. This is also true of the independent sector as a whole.

However GDST schools saw an increase.

 

GCSE Results - 2011 Headlines

Overall the GDST results show a significant increase on both the A* (+2.8%) and A*/A (+1.9%). This increase was greater than that of the ISC group of schools and the JCQ reported a decrease across the independent sector as a whole, which ISC attributed to the non-inclusion of GCSE results. Nationally there was a small increase.

Again the GDST is ahead of the trend. The JCQ independent schools figure includes schools who are not part of ISC and excludes IGCSE qualification, which many ISC schools offer.
