2025 results

Another exceptional year for our girls

We are delighted to announce another successful set of GCSE results for 2025. We are always proud of every one of our pupils. Our teachers are dedicated to the subjects they teach, inspiring learners and enriching the curriculum. Equipped with their results, all our girls secured their first choice place for Sixth Form.

A total of 139 qualifications were awarded (GCSE, IGCSE and Level 2 Qualifications in Further Maths).
  • 30 grade 9s, 25 grade 8s and 20 grade 7s
  • Grade 9 – 22%
  • Grade 8 to 9 – 40%
  • Grades 7 to 9 – 54% (London average 28%, national average 21.8%).
  • Maths and English – 76% Grade 9 to 6
  • French and Spanish – 72% Grade 9
  • Music – 67% Grade 9 to 8
  • Geography – 86% Grade 9 to 7
  • Combined Science – 57% Grade 9 to 7
  • History – 50% Grade 9 to 7
  • Art and Drama – 100% Grade 9 to 5 

Three of our pupils achieved Grades 8 and 9 exclusively, and four pupils achieved Grades 7 to 9 exclusively. We also had a standout performance from one pupil, who achieved an A* in Computer Science IGCSE.

Four pupils in Year 9 and one in Year 10 celebrated Grade 9 success in French, Spanish and Japanese. Their individual commitment to achieving these qualifications was exemplary.

We are excited with our terrific results and extremely proud of the value-added progress.

Value-added refers to the progress made in relation to our pupils’ starting point. This is quantifiable and the median value-added across all subjects and pupils is +1 grade of progress, closer analysis of individual pupils and subjects reveals up to +4 grades of progress. One pupil made +3 grades of progress across her GCSE subjects.

We wish all our pupils future success and happiness as they begin their journey away from St Margaret’s Hampstead.
