These results follow last week’s record A Level outcomes, when our Sixth Form pupils achieved John Lyon’s best performance since 2017, with 43% of grades at A*–A and 86.2% at A*–C. Together, these achievements demonstrate the continued upward trajectory of academic strength across all year groups.

As Mrs Rose Hardy, Head of John Lyon, said:
“Following last week’s commendable A Level outcomes, our pupils’ GCSE grades demonstrate the continued upward trajectory of John Lyon School’s academic strength. These results reflect the commitment and hard work of our pupils, supported by the dedication and expertise of our staff. It is particularly pleasing to see such consistent success across a wide range of disciplines – from mathematics and the sciences, to humanities, languages, and the arts. These achievements provide our students with a firm foundation for the next stage of their education in our dedicated Sixth Form, where we are confident they will continue to excel.”

We are so proud of our pupils’ hard-earned achievements and we look forward to supporting them in the next stage of their academic journeys.
