Examination Results

Students at The Market Weighton School are celebrating excellent grades in GCSE examinations.

Mr Harrison, Headteacher, said ‘Overall our grades are largely in line with last year with improvements in the percentages gaining grade 5+.  We will not have progress scores this year due to this cohort missing SATs due to COVID and we need to remember that we will continue to see the impact of school closures on GCSE results for some time.  This cohort missed most of Year 6 and had a very disrupted start to Year 7 with little transition.  They have all done incredibly well and we are very proud of all their results.

It is not all about the top grades and many of our students surpassed their targets to achieve great results that will allow them to progress to the next stage of their education.  Many of our students have benefited from additional support as part of our Enhanced Resource Provision or with Education Health Care Plans.  For our staff, celebrating these successes is even more rewarding than seeing those achieve the top grades.

All our students have individual successes and will progress to a wide range of Sixth Form Colleges, FE Colleges and apprentice providers.  I would like to thank all our staff for their hard work in supporting these students over the past 5 years and wish them all the very best for the future.’

GCSE Results Summary

We are proud to share our latest GCSE results, which reflect strong performance at key pass levels and continued improvement for our students.

A growing proportion of students achieved strong passes in English and Maths, with 41% securing Grade 5+ in both subjects, an increase on last year. English results were particularly encouraging, with clear improvements at both Grade 5+ and Grade 4+, showing that more students are leaving school with secure literacy skills.

In Maths, outcomes at the standard and strong pass levels remained stable and improved slightly, ensuring that many students achieved the qualifications needed for further education and employment. Across subjects, Grade 4+ outcomes were a real strength, with results above national and regional averages, confirming that the majority of students achieved solid passes.

Humanities and EBacc subjects continued to perform well, demonstrating success across a broad and balanced curriculum. These outcomes reflect the school’s commitment to high-quality teaching, targeted support and a strong focus on helping every student succeed.

While fewer students achieved the very highest grades this year, results at Grade 7+ were in line with national median expectations. Increasing the proportion of top grades remains a key priority as we continue to challenge and support our most able learners.

Overall, these results show a school moving in the right direction, with secure foundations, improving outcomes and a clear focus on further improvement. We are proud of our students’ achievements and grateful to staff and families for their continued support.
