Key Stage 4 Results

Key Stage 4 Results Summary

Blenheim’s 2023 GCSE and A Level results broke school records in a number of areas. A combination of well-researched teaching and learning practices, rhythmical assessment and feedback, frequent reporting, well - timed interventions and consistent monitoring of student performance, coupled with an extended day for Years 11 & 13 students, led to the majority of outcomes surpassing those achieved previously.

‘The return to pre-pandemic grading means that national results will be lower than last summer. It will be most meaningful to compare this year’s results with 2019, the last year that summer exams were taken before the pandemic.’

Rachel Taylor, Associate Director, Standards & Technical Issues, Ofqual
