Academic Results
We are immensely proud of all our pupils for everything they achieve and for the journeys they go through.
The value of an education should not be summed up in the results of a single exam, but instead in the adults our pupils become and the difference they make to the world. This philosophy is reflected in our decision not to publish examination data in national league tables. We don’t believe they can convey the ethos and values of our School, the character of our pupils and the commitment of our teachers to bring out the best in every pupil by finding their personal genius, whatever form that may take.
Our ethos is very simple and that is to produce happy children through an environment that promotes their self-confidence and self-esteem. With the superb teachers, excellent facilities and myriad opportunities we have at Reed’s we realise not only the academic potential of our pupils, but also develop the character of our pupils - this is what ultimately prepares them for the future.
2024 RESULTS
We are very proud of our 2024 Fifth Form and Upper Sixth cohorts who achieved excellent sets of GCSE and A Level grades this Summer.
At A Level, 2024 has proved to be another terrific year with an impressive 56% of all grades awarded at A*/A grade and 86% within the A* to B range. A stellar 20% of all grades awarded were the highest possible grade of an A*, with 16 of students (10% of the year group) achieving the incredible feat of at least 3 A*s. Overall 98% of all grades were awarded at A* - C. We are proud of every one of our students; the class of 2024 were a dedicated, resilient and joyful group of young people who made the most of all the opportunities they had available to them, both inside and out of the classroom; these great results attest that they certainly got the balance right!
The GCSE results were equally impressive where half of all grades were awarded at grade 9 or 8, including one in every four of all grades being awarded the highest possible grade of 9. For the eighth consecutive year, more than 70% of all results have been a grade 7 or above with this 2024 cohort recording three-quarters of grades at 9-7. We are immensely impressed with these achievements; our pupils deserve to feel proud that their hard work has paid off. Pupils achieved strongly across all subjects; it is particularly noteworthy that in the compulsory subjects our pupils performed exceedingly well with 84% of all Mathematics grades achieved at Grades 9-7 and 88% of all English Language grades achieved at Grades 9-7, including a superb 44% awarded a Grade 9!
We were delighted that the vast majority of our pupils received such excellent grades, enabling them to move onto their choice of higher education, and for our GCSE pupils, to study their choice of A Levels. With such outstanding results, our pupils have gained places at top universities across the country and the world. Those holding offers at Oxford and Cambridge were all successful, as were all those holding offers to study Medicine. To name but a few, our students will also be reading courses such as Mathematics and Computer Science at Imperial College, London, Engineering at Durham, Economics at Edinburgh, English and History at Bristol, and Law at Exeter. Beyond the UK, Reed’s pupils will also be studying at prestigious schools including Yale, Tulane, Tulsa and Northeastern in the United States.
"These stunning results are a testament to the resilience and dedication of our pupils. Their ability to navigate challenging circumstances and excel academically is truly commendable. I am immensely proud of their accomplishments and the bright futures that lie ahead for each of them. All of this is only possible of course because of our incredible teachers who have worked, as ever, with skill, dedication and compassion to ensure the best possible outcomes for our pupils."
