The region’s only school to employ the innovative diamond structure of education is celebrating another year of strong GCSE results at its single-sex Boys’ and Girls’ Schools.
Dame Allan’s Schools, which teaches girls and boys separately from Years 7 to 11, saw nearly 60 per cent of all exams achieve top 9–7 grades, equivalent to A* - A. One in five of all grades was a 9, the highest possible score at GCSE.
Principal Will Scott said: “I’m immensely proud of our pupils’ achievements, which reflect the strength and breadth of education at Dame Allan’s Schools.
“It’s fantastic to see so many excelling in Maths, with three-quarters earning top grades and a significant number choosing to study Maths and Further Maths at A Level. Our History results have been outstanding across the board; our girls have achieved straight 9s in Dance; and our cohort of 24 German students has truly shone, with an exceptional 92 per cent achieving 9–7 grades.
“These successes across such diverse subjects highlight the effectiveness of our diamond structure, allowing both boys and girls to reach their full potential.”
We also had some incredible individual success stories. You can read about all of these here.
