GCSE Results

At Leehurst Swan, GCSE results reflect what can be achieved when pupils are known as individuals and supported to do their best. As a small, non-selective school, we combine high expectations with strong pastoral care, helping pupils grow in confidence and secure the grades they need for the next stage.  Small classes allow teachers to tailor support, stretch pupils where appropriate, and provide timely intervention where needed. This calm, focused environment helps pupils make strong progress and move on to a wide range of sixth-form colleges and schools.

Strong Outcomes, Year After Year

Our pupils consistently achieve solid GCSE results across a broad range of subjects, with many securing grades that enable them to progress to their chosen sixth-form colleges and schools with confidence.  What matters most to us is progress: pupils often outperform expectations based on their starting points, developing both academic resilience and self-belief along the way.

More Than Results

GCSE success at Leehurst Swan is underpinned by:

• Small class sizes, allowing teachers to know each pupil well
• Personalised support, including targeted intervention where needed
• Strong teacher–pupil relationships, built on trust and encouragement

This approach helps pupils who may not thrive in larger or more pressured settings to flourish academically.
