English Literature and Language were clear strengths, with over 83% of students achieving 9-7 grades.

These fantastic results reflect the hard work and dedication of an exceptionally talented cohort and the school are extremely pleased with these significant individual achievements, which surpass both last year’s excellent outcomes and those from 2019. These accomplishments pave the way for promising futures, and the school’s teachers are incredibly proud to have played a role in their success; they are thrilled to see their brilliance rewarded with such stellar results.

“It is so wonderful to witness the joy of our pupils receiving their GCSE grades. They should savour everything today brings, and we hope that they will take time to reflect on their accomplishments – we certainly are.”

Dr Lee, Head of Northampton High School, commented; “It is so wonderful to witness the joy of our pupils receiving their GCSE grades. They should savour everything today brings, and we hope that they will take time to reflect on their accomplishments – we certainly are. These results are the culmination of hard work, skilled teaching, active learning and a determination to succeed.

More importantly, this cohort naturally embodies the ‘10% braver’ High School spirit and values. The constant support and expert guidance from both their teachers and parents have contributed significantly to this year’s success, allowing our girls to flourish and learn without limits”.

Dr Lee further added:

“We believe that the strong partnership between parents and school is a cornerstone of our academic excellence. We look forward to welcoming many of the girls back in the next couple of weeks to start their A Level courses, and we are confident they will thrive in their Sixth Form adventures. We know they will be incredible role models and ambassadors for our community, and we cannot wait to follow their continuing progress.

At GDST senior schools we tailor our approach to how girls learn best, providing them with the attributes they need to excel. In our schools, academic excellence is a given and our girls beat the GCSE national average year on year. But GDST girls also learn to be confident, happy and fearless, to be prepared for the opportunities of the future.
