Art and Design is unusually popular at GCSE: 32% of the year group took it, against 7% of pupils across England.

GCSE results in 2025 were in line with the national picture: Attainment 8 of 45.5 against 46.1 across England and 50.3 in Gloucestershire, with 42% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
