Examination Results

At Earlscliffe, we are committed to helping every student secure a place at their chosen university.

Our exam results often rival those of more selective independent schools and grammar schools, even though the majority of our students are non-native speakers and haven’t had a British educational background.

We attribute this success to our focused learning environment, characterised by small class sizes, regular assessment, and highly structured academic and pastoral support that ensures each student reaches their full potential.

In 2025, Earlscliffe celebrated another year of strong A-Level performance, with 108 entries across A-Level and equivalent qualifications.

  • Photography (100% A*/A),
  • Further Mathematics (100% A*/B).

Strong performances were also seen in Geography (75% A*/C) and History (75% A*/B), reflecting the breadth and consistency of academic success across the curriculum.

GCSE Results

Earlscliffe is a non-selective school, and our international students complete an intensive one-year GCSE programme designed to build strong academic foundations.

This preparation ensures they are well equipped to progress to A-level study or to join one of the specialised diploma courses offered at Earlscliffe.

In 2025, our GCSE results reflected this success, with 29% of grades awarded at 9/7 (A*/A) and 69% at 9/4 (A*/C), demonstrating solid achievement across a diverse student cohort.
