Wolverhampton Grammar School is celebrating another year of exceptional GCSE results, with 79% of all exams awarded the top grades of 9 to 6 (equivalent to A* to B).
This year’s results show exceptional achievement across the curriculum, with standout success in English, Maths and Science, alongside a wide range of creative and technical subjects. In particular, Art, Computer Science and RS saw over 60% of students awarded grades 9 and 8’s.
The headlines in brief are:

42%
of entries were rewarded with the top two grades, 9 and 8.
25%

GCSEs play an increasingly important role in enabling both universities and employers to assess an applicant’s academic ability and potential. GCSEs act as a useful benchmark for universities in particular, for example, a university degree course offering a year abroad option would usually require a language at GCSE.
In 2025:
- 79% grade 9, 8, 7 or 6 awards (equivalent to A* to B)
- 42% coveted Grade 9s and 8s awarded this year
- 25% of students achieved 10 or more GCSEs at grade 9 or 8.
To achieve the top grade of 9 takes a combination of excellent teaching, hard work and determination. Happy students do well and for so many of our students to achieve 9, 8 or 7s is a credit to their brilliant teachers and the extraordinary pastoral support in place at School.
Our Sixth Form students have the opportunity to study at least three subjects from a range of 20+ A Level and Cambridge Technical courses, with some choosing to go the extra mile with a fourth subject.
In 2025:
