Badminton School is celebrating its strongest set of GCSE results in recent years.
Twenty per cent of Year 11 pupils achieved straight 9-8 grades. An impressive 58 per cent of all grades awarded were at grade 8 or 9, and 75 per cent were graded 9-7.
Year 11 pupil, Florence, who achieved straight 9s, said: “I’m so thrilled with my results and I’m incredibly proud of all of my year. I hope this is a testament to the fact that taking every opportunity and still finding time for things you love can really pay off!”
Lucy Culverwell, Head of Year 11 at Badminton, said: “These outstanding results reflect the hard work, resilience and commitment of a truly remarkable year group. Throughout the exam season, students approached their studies with characteristic calm and focus, while continuing to engage in a broad range of co-curricular pursuits.
“Whether performing ballet, playing in the school orchestra, or volunteering at local stables, this cohort has consistently demonstrated a commendable balance between academic excellence and personal enrichment. A defining characteristic of the Class of 2025 has been their strong sense of collaboration and mutual support – qualities that have contributed significantly to their success.”
Jessica Miles, Badminton’s headteacher, added: “This year’s GCSE results are a true reflection of the dedication, curiosity, and spirit shown by our Year 11 pupils.
“I am incredibly proud of how they have embraced both academic and co-curricular life with such enthusiasm and maturity. Whether excelling in the classroom, performing on stage, or contributing to the wider community, they have set a wonderful example of what it means to be a Badminton pupil.
“I know the whole school community will join me in congratulating them, and in thanking the staff who have guided and supported them throughout their journey so far.”
