The brilliant achievements of our Year 11 students in this year’s GCSE examinations

Hulme Grammar School is delighted to share the brilliant achievements of our Year 11 students in this year’s GCSE examinations. These results are a testament to our students’ commitment and perseverance.

This year, 10% of all grades awarded were grade 9, reflecting a 1% increase from last year and underscoring the outstanding capabilities of our students. Additionally, 25% of grades were 9-8, while an impressive 46% were grades 9-7 (the equivalent of the former A and above). A remarkable 69% of all grades were 9-6, demonstrating the high academic standards at Hulme.

Among our top performers is Tak Lun (Terence), an EAL (English as an Additional Language) student, who achieved a remarkable accomplishment: a stunning 10 grade 9s and a grade 8. Furthermore, 11 students received 10 or more grades at 9-7, highlighting the consistent excellence across the year group.

Our commitment to providing a broad and balanced curriculum is reflected in the outstanding departmental results, with several subjects achieving 100% grades 9-5. 

In Art, all students received grades 6 or above, with 67% achieving grades 9-7. The sciences also performed exceptionally well, with Chemistry securing 88% grades 9-7, Biology 67%, and Physics 71%. Design and Technology saw 83% of its students attain grades 9-7.

Tony Oulton, Principal of Hulme Grammar School, expressed his pride in the students’ achievements:

“We congratulate all those receiving their GCSE results today. We are massively proud of our Year 11s who have achieved brilliant grades in their exams this year.”

“Given that this cohort was the group whose start to secondary education was hit by school closures as a result of Covid lockdowns, their achievements are even more impressive, and testament to their resilience. Our students’ hard work and determination to succeed has paid off magnificently.”

“At Hulme Grammar, we ensure that, whatever their passions and strengths, students are given the tools to be their most successful selves.”

“I want to take this opportunity to thank the teachers, the pastoral team, the exams team, and all those staff who have supported students behind the scenes. Today’s results are something we are all massively proud of.”

These results confirm Hulme Grammar School’s commitment to academic excellence across a wide range of disciplines, ensuring that every student is empowered to achieve their full potential. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our students, and we look forward to celebrating their future successes.
