Over 60% of students (61.9%) achieved a standard pass (grade 4 and above) in both English and Maths.

Students also averaged a pass grade of 4.06 across their English Baccalaureate (EBacc) subjects, with 13.7% achieving strong passes across all EBacc areas.

Adam Johnston, Director of Children’s Services at Worcestershire County Council, said: "Congratulations to all students receiving their GCSE results today. These results are the outcome of real perseverance and commitment, and I want to acknowledge the important role of school staff and families who have supported our students along the way. GCSEs mark a key milestone, and I hope today gives young people the confidence to move forward positively into further study, training, or employment.  We wish them every success for the future."
