GCSE Results 2020/21
We are very proud of our cohort of twenty-four Year 11s who either sat examinations or provided a substantial amount of rigorous evidence through our ‘finals’ approach to Teacher Assessed grades – their results this year came from a hybrid of live Cambridge International GCSEs and Teacher Assessed Grades for Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) regulated GCSEs and Vocational Courses.

Results over time
As an overseas territory, we do not feature in DFE performance tables but we opt into data sharing with the largest independent data solutions provider to secondary schools in the UK enabling us to use a sophisticated Progress 8 performance tool to benchmark and measure our performance.
In common with English schools, our last full-set of live examinations was taken by the 2018/19 cohort. These live examinations were replaced by Centre Assessed Grades in 2019/20 as part of the impact of COVID-19 - that process resulted in significant inflation in results for all exam boards as ‘the higher’ of the Centre Assessed Grade or algorithm generated grade was awarded.
Unlike English schools where exams were again cancelled in 2020/21, students took a hybrid of live Cambridge international GCSE examinations and Teacher Assessed Grades.
The accuracy of our teacher-assessment process and decisions was upheld following rigorous quality assurance both internally and externally by the exam boards.
