GCSE Results 2025

Drapers’ Academy wishes to congratulate the class of 2025 on their GCSE exams results. We are delighted as a school to have sustained the large increases made in 2024, with pupils achieving strong and standard passes in English and Maths.

We also celebrate having the highest number of pupils achieving passes in all pillars of the EBAcc qualification this year.

Other headline figures this year include:

• Our highest number of Grade 5 and above results in English. 

• Large progress made in pass rates for French – with our highest number of Grades 4, 5 and above.  

• Our highest Grade 4, 5 and above pass rates in Geography. 

Principal, Gillian Dineen:

“I am delighted that the hard work from our pupils and staff have sustained the significant improvements in GCSE results we achieved last academic year. It is wonderful to see so many of our pupils celebrating some fantastic GCSEs and looking forward to their next educational steps in September. Everyone’s journey through to the end of year 11 involves dedication, commitment and hard work. All Drapers’ staff are incredibly proud of the class of 2025 and wish them well for the future.”

Below are some of the exceptional results that our pupils have achieved. Some of these reflect pupils who have worked hard to achieve multiple top GCSE grades and others represent stories of pupils who have triumphed over real adversity to secure the grades that will take them on to college and sixth form.

The success of all of our pupils demonstrates their commitment to the Drapers' Academy values of purpose, kindness and respect.
