Pupils at Caterham hit the top numbers once again this year with almost half of all GCSE grades the highest possible Grade 9. The average result profile for a Caterham pupil in 2024 is 10 GCSEs at grade 8 (previously an A*) and the average individual grade an 8. A total of 20 pupils got 10 grade 9s or more. Over 85% of all GCSE grades were 9 to 7 with today’s success at GCSE following last week’s record-breaking A Level results.
Ceri Jones, Headmaster, said: “Today’s results are outstanding and well deserved by a fantastic group of young people who have proven themselves in every aspect of school life, inside and beyond the classroom. They step up to our Sixth Form with an impressive set of results, ready to enjoy and succeed in the next stage of their education at Caterham. I am thrilled for our pupils and their parents who must celebrate today.
“I am also delighted for what this today’s, and this year’s, results represent for the school– a consistent excellence in academic achievement that opens doors of opportunity for our young people. Not only do Caterhamians secure top grades, and thrive in their wider co-curricular and sporting school life, but they also build crucial problem solving, entrepreneurial and digital skills in our unique Digital & Innovation EDGE curriculum. They are open minded and open hearted, taking an active role in our important Partnership work across the local area.”
Through partnership with Caterham School, Copthorne Prep follows the award-winning EDGE curriculum ensuring pupils are future-ready. Our approach is to embrace the best of technology in learning and teaching, so that children are confident in applying digital skills when most powerful for their education, and whatever they choose to do in the future.
