GCSE Results 2025

Huge congratulations to all of our Year 11 students who have once again demonstrated their hard work and determination with record-breaking success in this year’s GCSE examinations, with results marking the best ever in our history.

More than half of all students attained at least one grade 7, with over a third achieving three or more grade 7s. An impressive 60% of students secured a strong pass (Grade 5 or above) in both English and Mathematics, while more than 80% achieved a standard pass (Grade 4 or above) in both subjects.. 

Mr D. Treble, Head of Upper School, praised the cohort, saying:

“This year’s GCSE results are a true reflection of the determination and resilience of our students. We also extend our thanks to our dedicated teachers and supportive parents who have played a crucial role in guiding our students to success. We are exceptionally proud of all their achievements and wish them every success in the future.”

Special recognition goes to several students who secured outstanding results:

• Shaankumaran A – ten grade 9s

• Poppy V – six grade 9s, three grade 8s and one grade 7

• Nathan M – six grade 9s, two grade 8s and two grade 7s

• Jay M – six grade 9s, one grade 8, one grade 7 and two grade 6s

• Daisy C – four grade 9s, five grade 8s and one grade 7

These exceptional accomplishments represent the highest levels of attainment at Highfields this year

Alongside the highest achievers, we also wish to celebrate those students who made remarkable progress during their time at Highfields. Special mentions go to: Serena S, Manraj K, Annie S, Isaac C and Rayan R.

Mr Treble added:

“These students have made the most progress of all in their year group, but in truth there are so many who can be very proud of the incredible strides they have made.”

We are delighted that so many of our students have chosen to continue their academic journey as part of our Sixth Form, and we look forward to supporting them in achieving even greater success. Others will be moving on to A-levels elsewhere, vocational courses, or entering the world of work, and we are confident that the skills, perseverance and determination they have developed at Highfields will serve them well in the years to come.

Highfields School is immensely proud of its students’ record-breaking GCSE achievements. Congratulations to every member of the year group for their hard work, resilience and success.

A-Level Results 2025

Congratulations to all Highfields Sixth Form students who achieved another fantastic set of A Level results. This year also saw a record number of university applications from our Sixth Form – over 160 – with the majority of students securing their first-choice destination.

As always, there were some truly remarkable individual performances. Chief among them was Lizzy D-C, who achieved an incredible three A* grades and will now take up a highly competitive Forensics apprenticeship with West Midlands Police. Lizzy’s success is made even more exceptional by her flawless performance in Criminology, achieving full marks across the board – something very few students ever accomplish. Kyrun A, with A*A*A, will be studying Medicine at the University of Birmingham, while Kloe D, who earned AAD*, will be pursuing Speech and Language Therapy at Keele University. Reece H impressed achieving A*A*AA and will study Mathematics at the University of Birmingham: gaining four A-levels at such a high standard will surely open the door to almost any career path. Aaliyah K secured AAA* plus an A in her Extended Project Qualification and will study Psychology at the University of Warwick. Gurjot P achieved AAA* and is heading to the University of Birmingham to read Mathematical Economics and Statistics.  

Around 40 students so far have accepted places at prestigious Russell Group universities, representing almost a quarter of all applicants. Five students will be studying Medicine – Harleen, Arwa, Jasleen, Jaskeerat and Kyrun – and are sure to make superb doctors in the future. The sole applicant for Veterinary Medicine, Lysia T, achieved brilliant A*A*B grades, easily meeting the very demanding entry requirements. 

The variety of courses and destinations this year is something to be celebrated. Happy B is off to King’s College London to train in Midwifery, a brilliant accomplishment after a lengthy and competitive application and interview process. Nana S, with AAA, will also be heading to London to study Pharmacy at UCL. Not all our students are heading into healthcare, however; Natasha A will study Counter Terrorism, Intelligence and Cybercrime; Jessica W-L will focus on Wildlife Conservation; Isaac J, who achieved AAA, will pursue International Management; and our very own ‘resident Taylor Swift’, Emily M, will be studying Popular Music Performance & Songwriting. And we’re pleased that students are venturing to many different parts of the country to pursue their next steps, from Edinburgh to Falmouth!
