​

Holmewood is proud to announce this year’s exceptional examination results, highlighting the remarkable academic progress and personal achievements of its students across A-Level, AS-Level, BTEC and GCSE qualifications.

These results reflect not only strong academic outcomes, but also the determination, resilience and individual progress of Holmewood students, who have worked hard to meet (and in many cases exceed) ambitious expectations.

​

• 100% of BTEC grades were awarded at Pass or Merit.

• 65.2% of GCSE grades were marked at 4-9.

Individual Standouts

At A-Level, Reuben excelled with an A* in Physics, and an A in Maths. Jack secured a strong double B in Psychology and History.

At AS-Level, Thomas W earned top marks with A grades in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics, alongside a B in Further Maths.

These individual successes demonstrate the breadth of achievement across Holmewood and the commitment shown by students throughout their studies.

​

Ambitious Progress and Value Added

Demonstrating superb resilience and growth against neurotypical benchmarks, 9 students outperformed their predicted targets, which were set using CAT4 test predictions, with a further 2 meeting their predictions exactly. An additional 3 students finished within just one grade of their ambitious targets.

These outcomes are particularly significant in demonstrating the progress students have made and the impact of setting ambitious academic expectations alongside the right individual support.

These results are a testament to the dedication of Holmewood’s students and staff, proving that with the right support and ambition, every student can excel.
