Gordano School celebrates continued rise in GCSE results despite wider decline

Gordano School is celebrating a particularly positive set of GCSE outcomes this summer, with students continuing to achieve strongly against a wider picture of slightly lower results nationally and locally.
There was also a significant increase in the number of students achieving the highest possible GCSE grade, with Grade 9s increasing by almost 37% this year. Our young people also achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 5.1.
These results reflect the hard work, determination and resilience of Gordano students, alongside the commitment of staff and the support of families throughout their secondary school journey.
The success of the Class of 2026 is just one part of the wider experience at Gordano, where students are encouraged to Dream Big, Do Your Best and Give Back, and are supported to develop their academic, personal and wider skills.
