GCSE Results Day 2025

We’d like to congratulate our Year 11 students on their GCSE results and to recognise all of the hard work and effort that led them to this point. 

 

Thursday 21 August brought many stories of student success. It is never right to single out individuals when so many could be mentioned. However, we would like to congratulate students such as Sasha Cheyne, Alice Williams, Grace Fogarty, Nasseneba Kone, Simona Yemane Renhuldt, Jeremy Flores, Reese Aseherne, Akshay Choudhary, Isaac Charles and Dalmir Dahir who can be praised for very impressive results and incredible progress.  Well done all. 

 

Today’s rites of passage are first and foremost for the students. However, it is worth reflecting on the achievements of the whole cohort. Seven out of ten of our students achieved the national standard in English and Maths enabling them, irrespective of starting points, to be able to have a real choice about their next steps. Half of all Dunraven students achieved a strong pass in English and Mathematics. Across our broad curriculum, subjects as diverse as Art, Drama, Biology, Chemistry, Music and Sports Studies all produced very strong results. Elsewhere in the curriculum subjects such as French, Spanish, Design Technology and History all saw substantial numbers of students achieve the very highest grades. 

Their Director of Learning for Year Ms Duke said, ‘Well done Year 11. We are really proud of you all. I wish you all the best of luck on the next chapters in your education.’ We are delighted to see so many intend to return to continue their studies in the Sixth Form. 

 

This Year 11 began their Dunraven Secondary journey during the pandemic, in a ‘bubble’ on the ground floor. They walked through the doors on their first day with a tremendous sense of purpose and that has remained with them ever since. Well done to Year 11 on such strong outcomes which are above national averages, and the result of hard work and dedication from all. Thanks must be paid to their teachers for their care and expertise as well as to families at home for the support provided.

 

So, well done to Year 11, and the brilliant futures that lie ahead.
