Year 11 pupils at Framlingham College have been praised by the Principal for their 2024 GCSE grades, which represent the most successful set of results achieved at the College since the introduction of the 2019 numbered system.*
* Discounting years affected by pandemic adapted grading.
Almost a quarter of exams (24%) were awarded Grade 9s and 8s, with 44% of exams awarded at Grades 9 – 7, an increase of 9% on 2023 results. Eighty-five percent of grades achieved by the 2023/24 Year 11 cohort were Grade 5s and above.
I am delighted with the achievements of our Year 11 pupils. I am very proud of them, and they should be proud of themselves too.”
Louise North - Principal, Framlingham College
Across the higher-grade boundaries, over one third of pupils scored at least one Grade 9, with 82% of the cohort scoring at least one Grade 7 or above. Thirty-nine per cent pupils also gained an overall grade average of 7 and above.
The HPQ programme continues to thrive at Framlingham, with 44% of projects awarded A*s and two thirds of HPQ projects awarded A*- A.
Principal Louise North commented: “I am delighted with the achievements of our Year 11 pupils. They have worked so hard and have thrown themselves into their learning. These results reflect their positive, determined mindset. GCSEs demand a great deal from our young people, expecting them to master subject matter and develop analytical and evaluative skills across – in most cases – at least nine different subjects. The important thing is that each pupil has given their all to these examinations. In doing so, they will have achieved their very best. I am very proud of them, and they should be proud of themselves too.”
