2024 GCSE results
We are delighted with this year’s GCSE grades which have continued the upward trend in our results over the past three years. This year, 23% of all grades awarded were grade 9 and 62% of all grades were 9-7, despite the government's reinstatement of pre-pandemic grading standards. There were particular successes in Religious Studies, English Literature, History and the Sciences where our girls achieved far higher than the national averages. This success is a testament to the outstanding dedication and hard work of both our students and staff, and the Laurels’ spirit of flourishing through excellence.
