Following our record breaking A level results last week we’re delighted to be celebrating our best ever GCSE results at Burnside.

The school has achieved its highest ever attainment 8 score, which is above the national average for all schools.

There are many success stories across all subjects, with students achieving a record number of grade 9 qualifications. We’re proud to celebrate our fantastic English results with 78% achieving grade 4 pass or above and 59% achieved the government’s strong pass of grade 5 or above, both figures are well above national averages. In maths the hard work of new curriculum leaders has already been rewarded with significant improvements at all grades and results approaching national averages.


We’re also delighted to see one of our students recognised by the exam board for having the best exam score in the country for business studies.

We look forward to continued success with our young people, at GCSE and at sixth form, in the new year.

Enrollment for our hugely successful sixth form begins on Friday 23rd August.  Contact the school if you would like further information.
