Haberdashers’ Adams announces excellent GCSE & A-Level results

Haberdashers’ Adams is delighted to announce another excellent set of GCSE and A-Level results.

A cohort of 148 pupils completed their GCSE studies at Adams, with almost every pupil studying ten subjects, resulting in a pass rate of 93% (grades 9–5). 81% of pupils achieved grades 9–6, 59% of pupils achieved grades 9–7 and 39% of pupils achieved the highest grades of 9–8. In addition there were some incredible individual achievements to celebrate. A total of 24 pupils secured grades 9–7 (formerly A*/A) in all ten of their subjects and 2 pupils achieved a straight set of ten GCSEs at grade 9 (formerly A*).

Meanwhile, a total of 164 Sixth Form pupils successfully completed their A-Levels, with 74% of pupils achieving A*–B grades and 47% achieving A*–A grades. There were some exceptional individual successes with three pupils securing four A* grades and three pupils achieving three A* grades. Overall, forty pupils achieved all A*/A grades. Additionally, three pupils have been successful in securing places at the University of Cambridge.

In addition to their A-levels, 112 of our A-level pupils also took the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) with an impressive 77% achieving an A*–B grade (up from 42% in 2024). The qualification is great preparation for those wishing to continue their studies at university, involving extensive research on a chosen subject, a 5000-word dissertation and a 10-minute presentation on their project.

New Head, Mr Biggins, stated: "We’re delighted that the majority of our pupils will be continuing their journey with us in the Sixth Form, where they’ll benefit from an environment that fosters both academic excellence and personal development. Whether they continue into our Sixth Form or pursue alternative pathways, we are incredibly proud of all our pupils and wish them well for the bright futures ahead of them. We also look forward to welcoming new pupils, from other schools, and are excited to see what they will bring to Haberdashers' Adams."

"We are absolutely delighted with this year’s excellent A-level results and incredibly proud of our pupils. They have worked with great determination and resilience, and their achievements are truly deserved. These results are a testament not only to their efforts, but also to the unwavering dedication of our teaching and support staff, who have gone above and beyond to inspire, guide, and nurture each individual. Today, we celebrate not just grades, but the journeys, growth, and futures these young people have ahead of them."
