  • Outstanding GCSE results!

    Published 21/08/25

    We should not forget that the students receiving their GCSE results today have been through significant turmoil during their time in secondary education and have now had to take exams under ‘normal conditions’ with grade boundaries in line with pre-Covid levels. Whatever the outcome, it is important to recognise that all students deserve praise for their resilience and courage to get to this point.

    We have had another year of outstanding results for our year 11 students at Borden Grammar School. An impressive 41% of our year 11 students achieved five or more of their grades in the highest band (7-9) with 21 of these students achieving the top grades (7-9) in 9 or more of their GCSEs.

    Grade 9 is achieved by less than 2% nationally and this year, 2 Borden students (Rafael D and Ethan T) achieved an unbelievable 8 grade 9s, with 12 students achieving 5 or more Grade 9s.

    Overall, the students achieved really strong grades with 41% of grades at the very highest grades (7-9) and 60% of all grades being awarded grades 6 to 9. This represents some outstanding outcomes from a cohort of students who have displayed immense levels of determination and resilience in their journey at Borden. We are very proud of the success of our students and look forward to seeing many return to us in year 12, wishing the very best to those that are moving on to pursue their journey elsewhere.

  • Post 16 Results 2025

    Published 14/08/25

    This was another very successful year for our post 16 students here at Borden. Ten of our students have achieved an incredible 3 or more top grade (A or A*) across their 3 or 4 subjects, these students are Jamie B, Tyler B, Ife F, Thomas F, Luke G, Nicholas H, Samuel H, Chris M, Toni O and Alyn P.

    Overall, this cohort of students achieved strong grades across their courses, with 24% of grades being awarded at A*/A and 52% of all grades being awarded at A*- B. This represents some outstanding outcomes from a cohort of students who have displayed immense levels of determination and resilience during the course of their A level studies. These impressive results have allowed our students to successfully move on to the next stage of their education or careers. All of this means that a great many of our students have secured places at prestigious universities, including Bristol, Durham, Exeter, Kings (London), London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE), Manchester and Warwick as well as more locally at Kent, Sussex and Surrey. Other students have been equally successful in securing high quality apprenticeship and degree apprenticeship opportunities at local companies as well as blue chip companies in London.

    We are very proud of the success of all of our students and wish all of them the very best of luck as they move into their chosen pathway, leaving Borden to change the world for the better.
