Celebrating Year 11 GCSE results 2025

We are delighted to share the fantastic achievements of our Year 11 students in this year’s GCSE examinations. As a year group they have excelled themselves, with every student contributing towards the impressive number of top grades received. More than one third of all results were at grade 9-7, 20% were at the very highest level of 9-8, and almost 60% of all grades were at grade 6 and above.

This cohort has not only met their target grades but, in many cases, exceeded them – particularly at the higher levels – with many students achieving a suite of top grades (7 and above), demonstrating the depth of success across the year group. This performance is evident across all subjects, with a wealth of top results that reflect both our students’ commitment and the passion of their teachers. At Bridgewater, our staff instil a love of learning and encourage students to strive for excellence, enabling them to flourish to the very best of their abilities.

We are equally proud of our Year 10 students, all of whom achieved success in their Statistics GCSE. Every student passed, with 75% gaining grade 6 or above, and a quarter securing the top grades of 9 and 8 – a wonderful achievement for this group at such an early stage.

These results showcase not only the talent and dedication of our students, but also the values we live by – inclusivity, intellect, integrity and inspiration. They should feel immensely proud of all they have achieved.

This success follows last week’s outstanding A Level results, which saw Bridgewater students secure places at some of the country’s most prestigious universities, studying highly competitive subjects including Medicine, Nuclear Engineering and Educational Psychology.

To all our students, we say a huge congratulations. You have worked incredibly hard, risen to every challenge and made our whole school community proud.

As a student, you are the most amazing discovery you will ever make.
