GCSE Results Day 2025 at St Peter's

Pupils at St Peter’s School are celebrating another set of fantastic GCSE results. Almost a quarter of all grades awarded were a 9, with nearly half at 9 or 8 (previously A*) and over 80% of grades from 9 to 6 (previously A* to B).

There were outstanding individual performances with ten pupils achieving at least ten grades at 9 or 8. Emily achieved an extraordinary clean sweep of all grade 9s and will begin A Levels in Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Art in September. Ella and Will both achieved all 9s and 8s in 11 subjects and Helena, Anna, Isla, Seb, Róisín, Oscar and Phoebe all bagged 10 GCSEs at grades 9 and 8.

Jenny was commended by OCR, the examining board for Art and Design GCSE, having achieved one of the highest grades in that subject in the country.

Anna and Will added to their impressive tally of GCSEs with Astronomy which is taught after school as part of the York Independent State School Partnership (ISSP). St Peter’s is enormously proud to be a part of this partnership and of all the students from schools across York who entered additional GCSEs in Astronomy and Latin through the ISSP this year.

Head Master Jeremy Walker said:

“I would like to congratulate all of the pupils who achieved wonderful results today. All at St Peter’s are very proud of them for all they have achieved, and they should be thrilled. It is wonderful to see such outstanding results from pupils who not only work hard in the classroom but also demonstrate their talents in sport, music, drama, art and so many other aspects of school life. They have managed to have a tremendous amount of fun while studying for their GCSEs, forged strong friendship and made memories which we hope will last a lifetime.”  

“I would also like to extend my thanks to their teachers and parents for all their support.”

“We now look forward to our pupils taking their next step to Sixth Form when they will be joined by many new pupils from other schools. We look forward to seeing their skills, values and interests develop even further.”
