GCSE SUCCESS FOR HEATHFIELD STUDENTS.
Squeals of delight and hugs of congratulation could be seen and heard across College today as students attending Heathfield this year have excelled themselves in the 2025 GCSE outcomes. It is a testament to their staff and their own hard work that Year 11 Heathfield students have been able to continue the legacy of great outcomes at the College securing results which represent consistently high attainment.
It is also particularly pleasing to see, despite national trends to the opposite, that the College continues to secure equal achievement of boys and girls and minimise gaps for those in disadvantaged groups. Equality is important to us and it is pleasing to see this borne out in the achievement of all students.
There are also some fantastic examples of achievement in the face of challenging circumstances for individual students. Others have excelled in spite of challenging personal or medical circumstances. Whilst many of these cannot be named, their achievement is nonetheless significant and both the College and their families will be very proud of their results.
Paying tribute to the effort that has led to this success Head of Year, Jack Richardson said
“I am enormously proud of every single student in the year group. There are outstanding results across the year group, with impressive performance at the highest levels. And alongside this of course sit the personal stories where students have achieved amazing things despite their own hurdles. The students have all worked incredibly hard and should be proud of what they have achieved.
The world was a strange place in 2020, when they started with us, and the students have weathered the challenges of the last 5 years with good humour, resilience and exceptional hard work. Well done Year 11!!”
Headteacher Caroline Barlow said: “Life is not all about examination grades but there is no doubt that getting good results is both a vindication of hard work and opens doors for the future. It is fantastic to see students’ work ethic has paid off. They can be proud of the rewards for their effort, resilience and considerable potential.”
The vast majority of students will join the Sixth Form at Heathfield, some will go onto apprenticeships or vocational courses that give them fantastic future choices.
These outcomes overall show the College’s ability to add significant value to all pupils’ progress over their five years at Heathfield. This is a result of the powerful combination of the hard work and dedication of students to their studies, the unstinting support of parents and the focused expertise and skill of their teachers.
