2017 GCSE and A Level Success
GCSE Results
This summer, students at St Mark’s celebrated their best-ever GCSE results.
Headline results show that:
- At GCSE, 72% gained a good pass grade in both maths and English, under the new, and much tougher, grading framework.
- 66% of students secured the traditional measure of 5 or more GCSEs at A*-C (or equivalent for maths and English), the best the school has seen.
- 38% of all students achieved at least one top grade of A*-A or 7-9, placing our students’ results amongst some of the best achieved locally.
- 10% of all students in the year gained the new top grade 9 in either English or maths – grades only awarded to the top 3% of students nationally.
- 100% of all language students secured A*-C grades with 55% at A*-A.
- 100% of all Triple Science students secured A*-C grades in at least one science subject.

Taibah O, performed exceptionally well in her summer exams at The New Sixth, achieving one A and two B grades in Dance, Music and Performing Arts respectively.
Taibah’s outstanding results at A Level mean that she secured a place at the University of Bristol to study Music.
We were also delighted to learn that St Mark’s Alumni student and former Batheaston Primary pupil, Miguel R, achieved outstanding results at A Level, securing A* grades in English Literature and Geography and an A grade in History. Miguel has successfully secured his place at Peterhouse College, Cambridge to read History.
