Keswick School’s exceptional GCSE results 2025
Keswick School is celebrating an outstanding set of GCSE results today, maintaining a track record of exceptional academic performance. This is particularly the case in the highest grades (9-7) where there was a 2% increase at each grade over last year’s excellent results.
Keswick School is a Language centre for the North West. The school is particularly delighted that of 140 students who took a modern foreign language, 64% of students studying French achieved grades 9-7 (including 12 grade 9s) and 45% of students study German achieved the same standard, with 15 grade 9s! 27 grade 9s in MFL compares favourably with the very best selective and independent schools in the UK and is indicative of the quality of teaching available across the school.
This success follows a school Ofsted inspection last year were the school was graded as ‘outstanding’ in every category. The inspectors noted in their report:
“Pupils thrive at this school. They strive for excellence and their conduct is exemplary”
GCSE results across the board are excellent and the students can now move on to the next step of their educational journey, with the majority joining Keswick School Sixth Form, with great confidence.
Simon Jackson, Headteacher, said:
“I am hugely proud of our students. They have achieved some outstanding results. The GCSE grades awarded today reflect their hard work and dedication. They have been a pleasure to have as part of our Keswick School community.
I would also like to pay tribute to our exceptional specialist teaching and support staff. They are an incredibly group of staff who always go the extra mile. It is through their care and encouragement that students at Keswick School become confident, caring and highly articulate young people.”
Rev Charles Hope, Chair of Governors, said:
‘Results day is always a special day for students, parents and staff. The excitement of receiving the results and sharing news is palpable. The results of our Keswick School Year 11 pupils are a wonderful achievement for all our students. The results also reflect the dedication and commitment of our teaching and support staff and their great efforts on behalf of the students. The support of parents and carers too is invaluable to their children’s success. Congratulations all round! We look forward to welcoming so many of these Year 11s back into the Sixth Form!’
