​​Raising the Bar: Holmewood Marks Best GCSE and A-Level Results Yet

​​

Over the past three years, The Holmewood School London (THSL) has placed academic focus at the forefront of its vision, to ensure the potential of our students is harnessed and nurtured. 

 

We are proud to announce another outstanding set of results for A Levels, GCSEs, and BTEC in 2025. The holistic approach that THSL takes in supporting our students to overcome the barriers they face in order to access education has manifested in record numbers of grade 9s and 8s at GCSE level this year, with many students excelling across multiple subjects.

 

• 100% of A-level results were A* - C.

• 76.9% of GCSE results were grade 4 - 9, up from 73% in 2024. 

• 100% of students passed Level 2 BTEC Creative Digital Media Production, with 80% awarded Distinction or Merit.

• 17 students achieved a Level 2 BTEC in Home Cooking Skills.

 

This summer, 20 students sat GCSEs in English Language, English Literature, Maths, Combined Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Art, Religious Studies, and Astronomy.

 

Record numbers of grade 9s and 8s were awarded, with many students excelling across multiple subjects.

 

Special mentions go to:

• Jack for achieving a grade 9 in English Literature.

• Thomas for securing a 9 in Maths, an 8 in English Literature, alongside strong results in other subjects.

• Natty for 9 in History and Religious Studies, alongside strong results in other subjects.

• Tiara for a 9 in Art and an 8 in English Language.

• Dylan for a 7 in English Language,  alongside strong results in other subjects.

 

While these exceptional grades are cause for celebration, the Headteacher, Bridget Young, highlighted the importance of recognising every achievement:

 

‘These results are very impressive indeed. We have never seen so many 9s and 8s, which of course we should be very proud of. However, I am equally aware that there are a lot of stories behind the 4s, 5s, and 6s too and we celebrate all of these. Each grade represents determination, resilience, and the overcoming of barriers. I am immensely proud of all our students.’

 

THSL’s success is built on teamwork. Ms Young added:

 

‘Thank you to everyone for your amazing support and teaching of our students. Our Upper School leaders, exams team, teaching staff, therapists, teaching assistants, and families all play a vital role in ensuring our young people can imagine and achieve success. We also thank Cavendish Education for their visionary leadership in the Special Education space.’
