GCSE & A Level Results 2025

 

HORNCASTLE SCHOOLS CELEBRATE GCSE & A LEVEL SUCCESS

Celebrate with us as our secondary schools in Horncastle release this year’s results.  CEO of Horncastle Education Trust, Sandra James said “Many congratulations to our students at Banovallum and QEGS who celebrate their GCSE and A Level results.  The outcomes below show the commitment and hard work of our young people and we are very proud of them.

My thanks to our dedicated staff, and to parents and carers, all of whom have worked together to enable our students to achieve their potential.  We wish our young people all the best as they take their next steps.”

 

 

 

Banovallum School has celebrated with pupils and their families as Year 11 students collected their GCSE and BTEC results. The majority of our students secured their first choice of destination after Banovallum, securing places at local sixth forms and colleges as well as starting employment and apprenticeships.

Jennifer Kirkwood, Headteacher, said “The results that this year group have achieved are excellent. This is despite the fact that their early terms at Banovallum were disrupted by Covid and its immediate aftermath. The reality for these pupils during their earliest years at our school was not only curriculum disruption but less access to some of the staple trips, events and other opportunities that we work hard to provide for our pupils. Despite this they have demonstrated a can-do attitude, and their achievements are testament to their commitment to curriculum and their wider school lives. We are extremely grateful to the families that supported them throughout their secondary school journey. Their results demonstrate the excellent achievements that can be made when pupils, their families and school staff work in partnership.

A number of our subjects have performed very well. I am especially pleased to see that outcomes in English and Mathematics will offer pupils the stepping stones needed to their next programmes of study. We also have some notable outcomes for groups in Food Technology, Photography, Music, Performing Arts and Sports Science.”

There are a number of individual notable performances from the following pupils: Molly Tassera, Riley Bridge, Leah Taylor, Xander Hemmings, Amber Renouf, Kira Hodgson, Chloe Gill and Em Brunt.

A number of students secured Grade 9s and equivalent, placing them in the top 5% of the subject nationally which is an outstanding achievement: Layla Bollan (Art), Molly Taserra (Food Technology and Sports Science), Charlie Bardovskis (Photography) Megan Patnell (Photography) and Chloe Gill (Performing Arts).

Thanks also go to the staff at Banovallum, all of whom work hard to support our young people to achieve great outcomes.

At QEGS Horncastle, we are so proud of our Year 11 students this year. Their approach to their education has been first class throughout their time at the school and we are delighted that this has been recognised through their GCSE results. Given the disruption to their education due to the pandemic at the start of their time with us, their achievements this year are particularly inspiring. They are an impressive group of young people who have demonstrated such determination and endeavour, both in and out of the classroom, and should be proud of all they have achieved.

Nearly half of all GCSE grades were 7 or above and the average grade of all GCSEs taken was 6.5; however, excellent GCSE results do not happen by chance and come about through the hard work and commitment of staff and students along with unfailing support from home.

Special mention should be made of Shreyas Chingale who impressively achieved a grade 9 in all his GCSEs, and Katherine Hunter, Catherine Leedham, Penny Lynn and Rohan Rai who achieved a grade 8 or 9 in each of their GCSE subjects. They are in good company as Afia Amankwa, Ayesha Asif, Harish Kumar, Raahi Padhiyar, Eve Riggall, Mahi Savani, Tyler Spencer, James Thomsett, Darcie Thorpe and Henry Vear all achieved a grade 7 or above in each of their GCSE subjects.

Simon Furness, Headteacher, said “We are particularly proud and impressed to see so many of our students achieving at such an exceptionally high standard and it goes without saying that we are looking forward to welcoming many of them back to the Sixth Form in September”.

 

A LEVEL RESULTS

We are very proud of our A level students this year. They have worked incredibly hard throughout their time in the Sixth Form and have prepared themselves fully for the next stage in their education or chosen career, with nearly a third of all A-Level results being either an A grade or one of the prestigious A* grades. They are without doubt an impressive group of young people who have navigated their way through their time in our Sixth Form with maturity and resilience.

Particularly impressive were the results of Zoro Chikura, Madeline Dawson, Kanak Gupta, George Hunter, Ziyad Soliman and Aarushi Vinod who achieved A* grades in each of their A level subjects. They are in very good company as Daniel Bradbury, Archie Edney, James Harvey, Eve Herbert, Shivani Jansari, Abhinav Mahajan, Niall Manning, Hope McIllwrick, Archie Qualtrough, Neha Ravikumar, Megan Smith, Verity Street, Sujay Venkateshan and Charlotte White also secured excellence gaining three or more A*/A grades in their A level subjects.

The overwhelming majority of our students have secured their preferred university place or been accepted on apprenticeship or training schemes.

Simon Furness, Headteacher, said “They have done so well, and we applaud their achievements; they are fine ambassadors for QEGS and we will miss them in September as they head off for pastures new”.
