We offer a combination of GCSE and IGCSE courses

Windermere School pupils celebrated their success and hard work on 21 August 2025, as they collected their GCSE results. 2025 is the first year of our new GCSE curriculum with both Years 10 and 11 taking up to three of their GCSEs in one year. We are delighted with how well both year groups have done with pass rates of 83% in Year 11 and 87% in Year 10.

Our pupils exceeded the national pass rate (67.1%) by over 15% and achieved a substantial value-added score of 0.32, meaning for each subject every student on average gained a third of a grade above national expectations. 40% of our pupils’ scores were grades 9-7, almost double the national average of 21.8%.

Notable individual successes include Billy, who scored nine grade 9s and an A grade in Additional Maths. Merry and Amy both scored three 9s, three 8s and three 7s, and Isaac achieved one 9, six 8s and two 7s.

At Sixth Form we offer multiple pathways including the International Baccalaureate Diploma and Career Pathways and a Vocational route. Students can study Business BTEC, Adventure NCFE or even both. After Sixth Form the majority of our students go on to higher education including Russell Group and QS World top 100 universities as well as graduate apprenticeships with leading employers.
