We are delighted to report outstanding GCSE results and our best results to date. Bucking the national trend, results are better than last year. St Catherine’s was the top performing school in Bexley for Progress 8. Bexley borough has three strong Grammar Schools, so we are delighted with our Progress 8 score that is hugely above both the local borough and national average. This score shows how much progress pupils at our school made between the end of key stage 2 and the end of key stage 4 compared to pupils across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 2.
The schools Attainment 8 score was fantastic with a result of 59.1. This score is based on how well pupils have performed in up to 8 qualifications, which include English, Maths, 3 English Baccalaureate subjects: including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and 3 other approved GCSE qualifications. St Catherine’s was way above both the Bexley and the national average score.
