Progress beyond the headlines
Behind these figures sit individual stories of progress. Several pupils achieved final grades one to two grades above their CAT4 baseline predictions, and others made rapid moves from very low starting points to secure passes within the year. These outcomes reflect the impact of small classes, subject-specialist teaching and precise, weekly feedback that targets gaps while stretching the most able.
“From a small first cohort we’re seeing what matters: pupils outperforming their baseline targets, with several achieving up to two grades above predictions. It shows that our children are capable of the very highest grades.”
Gary Webster, Head of Data, Assessment and Exams
We congratulate our pupils and teachers on these results. As our cohorts grow, we will continue to report transparently and remain committed to continuous improvement and the personalised support that helps every learner thrive.
