GCSE results 2024: More than half of grades were 7 or above at Oakham School

Delighted pupils have opened their GCSE results.

At Oakham School almost a third of grades awarded were 8 to 9 and half of grades earned were 7 to 9, with pupils achieving highly across a diverse range of subjects.

Two pupils earned the remarkable achievement of 11 grade 9s and another 30 – an even split of 15 girls and 15 boys – achieved entirely 7 to 9 grades.

Headmaster Henry Price congratulated pupils.

He said: “As ever, there are some outstanding results with pupils attaining the highest grades across the full range of subjects, together with those who have shown equal perseverance in attaining good grades in areas they find more challenging.

“This year group has also made a huge contribution beyond the classroom, including national sporting success for both girls and boys in hockey, rugby and athletics.”
