Top GCSE results achieved by Year 11 pupils

We’re incredibly proud to see this year’s cohort of GCSE pupils achieve an outstanding set of exam results as 43% of all grades awarded were at Grade 9-8, increasing from 39% in 2025.  

27 pupils achieved an outstanding set of results comprising exclusively of Grades 7, 8 and 9. 

In line with last week’s A Level results, strong results were once again seen across the board, including in Chemistry, Greek and Latin, alongside 79% of pupils achieving Grades 9- 7 in Mathematics. 

Mr James Neville, Head of Loughborough Grammar School, said: “We are pleased to celebrate outstanding GCSE results this year, which are testament to the commitment and hard work of our pupils, supported by their dedicated teachers. These results follow an exceptionally successful year for this cohort, who have contributed to all aspects of the rich and varied co-curricular programme so central to life at Loughborough Grammar School. 

“While these results mark an important milestone, they are just the beginning of the next stage of our pupils’ education. We look forward to seeing them build on these achievements as they embark on their exciting Sixth Form journey ahead.” 

Reflecting on the experience of receiving his results, Year 11 pupil, Kyle Luk, said: “I was quite relieved after waiting for so long. [Revising for exams] was hard, it definitely wasn’t easy, but if I just kept on thinking about the final goal, I pushed through in the end.” 

Many pupils are now set to proceed with their studies in our dedicated Sixth Form, where they will continue to receive high-quality teaching from our team of subject specialists, strong pastoral care and a wealth of exciting opportunities to broaden their horizons both inside and outside of the classroom. 

Year 11 pupil, Cyrus, who is going on to study Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths at A Level, said: “I was nervous at first, but when you open them, there’s a relief that falls over you, and I was happy at the end. [Revising for exams] wasn’t fun but you have to do it and it really helped a lot. I would do the same again.”
