Chetham\u2019s students are celebrating another outstanding year of GCSE results, showing that academic excellence goes hand in hand with their musical dedication.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, students achieved a 93% pass rate (grades 9\u20134), far above the national average of 67%. <\/span>60% of all results were grades 9\u20137<\/span><\/b>, up from 51% in 2024 and above the national average of 23%. This represents the school\u2019s strongest results since 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of 41 Year 11 students, 12 achieved grades 9\u20137 across all their subjects, with four securing grades 9\u20138 only. Fourteen Year 10 students also sat GCSE Music a year early, with over three-quarters awarded the maximum grade 9<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
