11th in the Sunday Times Parent Power League 2024 (13 in 2023)

We are thrilled to announce another year of outstanding GCSE results, with pupils demonstrating exceptional academic achievements across all subjects. This year’s results are a testament to the resilience and adaptability of our pupils, who have navigated their studies during a time of unprecedented challenges. Despite these hurdles, their grades have again out-performed national averages, with 95% achieving grade 4 and above, and 44% achieving the top marks of grade 7 or above. There is plenty of individual success with superb top grades along with some pupils who have found academic work more of a challenge gaining excellent results.

 

 

Our new Headmaster of Leehurst Swan, Clive Marriott, praised the pupils’ achievements, stating, “We are absolutely delighted and enormously proud of the individual achievements of each pupil. These results are a testament to their hard work, dedication and resilience, as well as the unwavering support and commitment of our exceptional teaching staff. I look forward to seeing our pupils continue to thrive in the next stages of their educational journeys.” Deputy Headteacher, Bridget Wright, commented, “These results enable Leehurst students to choose their next steps with confidence. We believe uniqueness matters: as a school we encourage all pupils to find their voice; to explore and develop their passions and potential; preparing them to be adaptable to an ever-changing world. Keeping the doors of possibility open gives them the springboard they need to succeed and make the most of life’s opportunities. It is lovely to see so many happy, smiling and excited faces here today!”

As pupils now look forward to the next steps in their educational careers, whether they are continuing their education in Salisbury or pursuing opportunities elsewhere, the school remains committed to supporting them in their future endeavours and wishes them the best of luck for the future.
