We are extremely proud of our academic success and reputation, and we celebrate all our students’ personal achievements. Whilst A*s or Grade 9’s are wonderful, we believe the true value of a Babington education is found in those individuals who achieve a grade (or two) higher than they ever thought possible, or in a pupil who didn’t believe they could, who now knows they can.

Our Year 11 students have received an outstanding set of GCSEs this year and we are so proud of each individual success that underpin these fantastic results.
Nearly two thirds of students were awarded the top grades at GCSE, with 56% achieving the coveted 9-7 grades, equivalent to the old A*-A grading. 59% of students achieved the top 9-7 grades in five subjects or more, with 12% achieving a clean sweep across the board in every GCSE taken. 92% of grades were awarded grades 9-5, and we are particularly proud of the students who worked so hard to secure such fantastic grades.
Students excelled in the top 9-7 grades in a range of subjects including History, Geography, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Music, RS, Textiles and PE, all securing 9-7 grades for over 60% of students. Despite nationally reported lower grades for MFL subjects, all students that sat French and German GCSE achieved grades 9-7, as did those that took Art and Design.
Huge congratulations to all our students and we look forward to welcoming many into our Sixth Form to continue their studies with us at A Level.

Nearly half of all A Levels were awarded A* and A grades with a number of subjects achieving a clean sweep of A* and A grades including English, Mathematics and Economics.
We wish each of our students the very best as they take their next steps into the wider world, to further immerse themselves in the subject areas they have enjoyed studying here at Babington House School, and to pursue employment opportunities created through our Work Experience Programme.
