Exam Results

We are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding results gained by our students this year. Our core subjects continue to support students to achieve at least a strong pass overall and we are particular proud of the results gained by students in English Literature and the Triple Sciences. 

Our creative subjects also continue to be a strength at Copthall and we are pleased to observe an increase in attainment in these key subject areas too. Developing well rounded students is important to us and our broad and diverse curriculum has allowed our students to shine in a range of subject areas. 

The increase in the number of students achieving the highest possible grades (8-9) is testament to the dedication and hardwork of our students, the unwavering support of parents and the strength of teaching across the school. 

This year group has shown determination, resilience and focus throughout their studies and the increase in top grades across the board reflects the high aspirations we have for all learners. 

Our students will be continuing their studies with us in A Levels or vocational pathways and they have achieved a great foundation for their future success. 

Copthall would like to thank parents and careers whose encouragement and involvement have played a vital role in supporting students throughout their GCSE journey. 

As we head into the new academic year we remain committed to ensuring that every students continues to reach their full potential.
