GCSE Exam Results 2023

Year 11 students at Gravesend Grammar School celebrated a good year of results in the context of the national picture.

46% of all grades were awarded at a 7-9 level whilst 24% were awarded at 8-9 highlighting a high percentage of top end levels achieved at GGS. 57% of all grades in Mathematics were awarded at the top 7-9 band, and 62% of those in English. Computer Science (69% 7+), and Physics (60% 7+) were also notably high performing subjects.

98% achieved a good pass in English and Mathematics, while 89% gained a strong pass in both subjects. We are particularly pleased in the current educational climate that 79% of our students passed their English Baccalaureate which contains a challenging and rigorous set of subjects. To achieve the Ebacc, students need to attain strong grades in English, Maths, Science, a Humanity and a Language.

The ‘Attainment 8’ measure, average pupil achievement across 8 qualifications, including English and maths and at least 3 other rigorous English Baccalaureate qualifications is 65.51. In the benchmark ‘Progress 8’ measure, the school expects to achieve a level well above the National Average. This means that, on average, each student has achieved better than expected in each of their subjects..

With regards to individual performance, 27 pupils have attained an average level of an 8-9. 22 pupils got 7 or more 8's/9's and 54 pupils got 7 or more 7's which are all improvements upon 2019.
