GCSE & A Level Results over time
GCSE results/outcomes 2017 - 2024
Graveney achieves excellent GCSE results year on year and this consistency contributes to our ‘outstanding’ Ofsted status. Our overall attainment score has always placed us in the top 10% of schools in the country and this year we were in the top 5% for both Attainment and Progress. In 2024 our students achieved a Progress 8 score of +0.75 – this means that they achieved on average almost a grade better than similar students in every subject they took. Both our Attainment 8 score and percentage of 7-9 grades were also the highest in the borough.
What marks these results out as particularly impressive is that the successes have been shared right throughout the cohort. Whatever your gender, ethnicity, ability or background – if you work hard at Graveney, then you will be successful!

These are excellent outcomes, enabling the majority of our students to progress to higher education every year. Progression statistics have remained stable over the years. Our most recent results (2021) show 84% of our students progressing to university, including an impressive 41% to Russell Group universities (46% in 2020). Nine students have taken up Oxbridge places (10, 8, 10 in the last three years) and a further five are commencing Medicine or Veterinary Medicine (9, 5, 9). 6% of our students took up places on to a range of prestigious further education courses and/or apprenticeships including at high profile organisations such as JP Morgan. 8% took a gap year.
Our retention rate for students starting in Year 12 and going on to complete Year 13 for the 2019 cohort was 95.4%.
A very small number of students did GCSE retakes in Maths and English in the 2019 Year 12 cohort (9 and 13 respectively). 66% achieved passes at 4 or above in Maths with a progress score of +0.27 and 77% achieved the same in English with a progress score of +1.35.
