A Level Exam Results 2025 (Press Release)
Congratulations to our Year 13 students on their success this summer with results showing an uplift across the board. 71% of all grades were A*-B, with 27 students achieving all A* and A grades. With an average grade B overall, students should be proud of all they have achieved. Most will now take up their place at universities across the country, including Oxford, Cambridge and Russell Group universities, while others will begin apprenticeships in a range of fields including nursing and business management. Students have chosen to explore a wide range of courses: Medicine, Marine Biology, Aerospace engineering, Biochemistry, Architecture and Law to name but a few. Results alone do not define our students who are courageous, kind, and independently-minded individuals. It has been a privilege to work with them and watch them surmount challenges and grow into young people determined to go out into the world and make it a better place. Thanks are also due for the hard work and commitment of everyone who has played a role in their development including their teachers, staff in school, and their families, communities and friends. Congratulations to all students receiving results this morning – and we wish you every success as you move on to the next phase of life’s journey.

GCSE Exam Results 2025 (Press Release)
NHGS students are celebrating their GCSE success as grades have risen again. Over two hundred grade 9s were awarded, with over a third of grades being grade 8 and above and over half the grades were at grade 7 (which used to equate to an A grade).
These students who ended their primary education abruptly and began their secondary education in “bubbles” with curriculum restrictions due to Covid. They have risen to every challenge, supporting each other along the way and we are very proud of all that they have achieved this year and over the years. They have not only studied hard, but have also engaged in a wide range of extra-curricular pursuits and activities across a wide range of interests from the arts to sports, from debating to ethics, from Amnesty to Formula 1 design.
The vast majority of these students will now continue to pursue their interests and broaden their horizons in the sixth form at NHGS and we look forward to welcoming them back in September. We will also be welcoming new students into this happy and hard-working collective and look forward to providing all students with further opportunities to broaden their horizons as they continue their journey with us.
