Streatham & Clapham High School (SCHS) is thrilled to announce our excellent GCSE examination results for 2024, which showcase the academic strength and diligence of our students and the commitment and care of our teachers. This year, we are particularly proud of the breadth of success across a full range of subjects, with 22 students achieving an impressive seven or more grades at 9 or 8 (A*).
Overall, 60% of all GCSE grades achieved were within the 9 to 7 range, highlighting the high academic standards upheld by our students. Particularly noteworthy is the success in specific subjects: 40% of grades in Art, 35% in PE and 30% in Religious Studies were the top grade 9, underscoring the diverse talents and interests of our pupils.
In the sciences, our students excelled; an average of 90% of girls achieved grades 9 to 7 in separate sciences, where 30% of these grades were grade 9. Our commitment to offering a broad curriculum has also seen outstanding achievements in subjects such as Computing and languages, including Japanese, Italian and Chinese. We are particularly delighted that in Chinese, introduced this year for the first time, every student achieved grades 9 or 8.
This year’s results are not only a testament to the students’ hard work but also a reflection of the robust academic and pastoral support at SCHS. We are also especially excited to welcome our largest Sixth Form cohort ever, as these accomplished students move forward to continue their educational journey with us, and our school goes from strength to strength.
Commenting on the results, Head Ms Cathy Ellott said: “We are immensely proud of our students’ accomplishments this year. Their academic success across a wide range of subjects is a true testament to their hard work and determination. These results are a fantastic foundation for the next stage of their education and we are excited to see what they will achieve in our flourishing Sixth Form. Congratulations to all our pupils for their outstanding achievements.”
The 2024 GCSE results underscore the excellence and resilience of our pupils. We look forward to seeing our students continue to thrive and contribute to the vibrant academic community at Streatham & Clapham High School.
