Head Ed Elliott said:

“Following on from our record breaking AS results last week, I congratulate Perse students on achieving the School’s best ever GCSE results with 70% of entries graded at A*. More than half the year group achieved eight or more A*s and 99% of entries were graded A* to B. These exceptional results are testimony to the talents and endeavour of our students and the quality and commitment of our teachers.”

One Year 11 student not only achieved 12 A* GCSE/IGCSE grades but also took A level maths two years early and scored an A* with the maximum marks of 600/600.

In addition, 72 students in Year 10 took IGCSE maths a year early and all secured an A*.
