GCSE Results 2020

Despite the confusion surrounding GCSE examinations this year, there was much delight at Manor House School on Thursday 20 August when Year 11 pupils received their GCSE results, as can be seen in the image above. The uncertainty that has surrounded GCSEs over the past few months, and in particular, in the run-up to the publication of results was finally laid to rest. After teachers at Manor House went through a rigorous and robust process of centre assessed grading, the girls got the excellent set of results that they so richly deserved.

• Two thirds of all grades were 9-7 with a fifth being awarded the highest grade of a 9
• In nine separate subjects, every single pupil gained a grade 9-7, including in the Arts (Drama, Art and Music), French, Classics and Religious Studies
• Every pupil gained two Science GCSEs with 100% 9-7 in Biology and Chemistry and 91% in Physics
• 97% of girls achieved 8 or more GCSEs including English and Maths
• On average, the class of 2020 achieved 1 grade higher in all of their GCSEs subjects compared to girls of a similar ability in other schools (Source CEM), regardless of our pupils’ starting points
• One pupil gained grade 9 in all ten of her GCSEs with others gaining eight or nine of these top grades!

MidYIS is a computer-adaptive assessment for pupils aged 11 to 14, that provides information to help identify a pupil’s strengths and weaknesses, and forecast how they are likely to perform at GCSE. Manor House School typically achieves at least 1 grade higher per subject than would have been expected for a pupil in their GCSE results, based on MidYis data.  Performance is on average over ½ grade higher compared to girls in other independent schools.
