Staggering GCSE results mark another year of academic excellence 28 August 2025

Our Year 11 students should be so proud of themselves as they received a truly impressive set of scores across the board on GCSE Results Day. 28% of examinations were at a Grade 9, with almost half (49%) being marked the top grades of 9-8 and an incredible 95% at Grades 9-5. These results reflect not only the dedication and talent of our Year 11s, but also the supportive environment at BMS that encourages every student to thrive. 

“The teachers at BMS have been really, really supportive and the resources that we have here are just amazing – I feel the school has really helped me achieve these results.” – Ernest, 12 Grade 9s + A* HPQ 

“The school was really supportive throughout the whole process with lots of extra sessions at lunchtimes and breaktimes to support me.” – Olivia, 11 Grade 9s 

“The support sessions provided by the school are really helpful because it’s one-on-one with your teacher.” – Neerek, 10 Grade 9s + one Grade 8 

“BMS has been really helpful with supporting me and helping me stay organised so that I feel ready when I go into the exams.” – Lauren, 10 Grade 9s 

“My teachers were able to present all the information in really clear ways…and keep all of us calm and confident in the lead-up to exams.” – Chelsea, 11 Grade 9s + A HPQ 

Headmaster David Payne said ‘We are beyond proud of our incredible Year 11 students and the dedication of our entire staff who have made these results possible. The confidence, integrity and ambition that our Year 11 cohort has shown in achieving these results is palpable. My huge congratulations to them all!’
