St Andrew the Apostle School Celebrate Another Year of Successful GCSE Results  

Students and staff at St Andrew the Apostle School were in high spirits on Thursday as they celebrated another excellent set of GCSE results. This year’s outcomes showed substantial overall progress, surpassing last year’s record-breaking performance, with an impressive progress score of over three-quarters of a grade per subject.

Among the high achievers were students such as Zara, who achieved eight grade 9 grades and will now be studying Maths, History, and Psychology at A Level and Gabriel, who achieved eight grade 8s and will be studying Maths, History, Politics and Biology at A-Level. Many students are staying on at St Andrew the Apostle Sixth Form, while others are progressing to vocational training, apprenticeships.

Chair of Governors Mary Karaolis OBE said:

“These results are a testament to the hard work of pupils, teachers, and parents. The school is rapidly gathering momentum ahead of our move into superb new buildings in September.”

Results in English and Maths were particularly encouraging, with increases from last year in the proportion of students achieving the highest grades (grades 9–7) in each subject, as well as in both English and Maths combined. The Humanities and Performing Arts also saw excellent progress, reflecting the school’s commitment to providing a well-rounded education.

Headteacher Christopher Martin commented:

“After last year’s record set of GCSE grades, we are delighted that the dedication of our pupils and teachers has been rewarded once more with excellent overall outcomes and progress. We are especially excited that many students from this cohort will stay on in our Sixth Form and enjoy the new Sixth Form Centre when it opens in September 2025.”

The school’s new buildings, due to open in 2025, will feature modern classrooms, specialist facilities, and state-of-the-art resources, ensuring future cohorts have the very best environment in which to thrive.

Students and their parents were thrilled with the grades in their subjects and their overall results. 

Teachers and Staff are extremely proud of all our students and these outcomes give them the skills and work ethic to move confidently on to the next stage of their studies. 

Parents commented that our Christian Orthodox ethos and culture of success were the binding forces that allowed their child to thrive at St Andrew the Apostle School.
