What a journey it has been for our Year 11 pupils. Starting in the academic year 2019/2020 within six months of secondary school they were hit with the pandemic.

However, we are pleased to announce that despite any barriers placed in front of them our pupils have excelled with their GCSE results.

Once again provisionally returning positive progress 8 scores, Etone remains one of the schools in the UK to achieve this fete since recording on progress began. With the Class of 24 programme designed to ensure pupils receive dedicated support from their teachers and mentors across the year, it has certainly had an impact in ensuring our pupils succeed and indeed enabling us to achieve our main aim – Progress for All.

Overall the average grade for a pupil has increased showing the hard work and dedication our pupils have put in. 

With a significant increase in the number of pupils achieving grade 5 and above in Maths and English, these results confirm Etone College as one of the leading schools in the area. With results up in all areas of analysis this is set to be one of the best years for Etone College and has ensured pupils have lived up to their expectations, with pupils achieving on average much better than their government projected targets.

Some particular highlights from our amazing pupils include:

Agata – Achieving and outstanding seven 9’s (Biology, Chemistry, French, History, Maths, Physics and Psychology) and two 8’s in her subjects across the board.

Sophie – Our 100% Year 7 to Year 11 pupil who achieves four 9’s (Double Science, Maths and Geography), two Distinction*’s (Art and Enterprise), two 8’s and a 7.

Lauren – With four 9’s (English Literature, English Language History and Psychology), a Distinction* (Art), two 8’s, a 7 and a 6, Lauren has secured her future into college as she decide on which career path to follow.

Maria – Two 9’s (English Literature, Psychology), a Distinction* (Child Development), five 8’s and a 7.

Bethan – Four 9’s (Biology, Chemistry, History and Physics), three 8’s, a 7 and a 6.

Umar – A 9 in Computer Science, four 8’s, a 7, a 6 and a five

With an increase in the number of 9’s achieved within subjects it shows how much effort our pupils have put in. Of course this is coupled with the dedicated support from their families and all of our Etone staff, without whom these results may not be all that is desired.

A big thank you to all our families and staff for their efforts and an even bigger WELL DONE to our pupils on this historic day.
