Examination Results 2023

At The Ecclesbourne School we work hard to ensure that every child is supported and challenged to realise their potential and we are proud of all our students’ academic and other achievements. We believe that when children, whatever their starting points or aptitudes, are encouraged and inspired in an orderly and purposeful environment then they make the progress of which they are capable. Our students are to be congratulated for their achievement in terms of the exceptionally high proportion who gained good passes at GCSE and A Level this year but also in terms of the progress they made. Examination results achieved by Ecclesbourne students have remained consistently well above national comparisons for the last several years at a time of considerable change in the exam system and the way the success of schools is measured

Our students’ fantastic achievements this year continue The Ecclesbourne School’s proud tradition of high academic achievement for all and mean that the vast majority of our students were able to gain places on their chosen post-16 courses. All of this serves as a testament to the commitment of our students, the skill and dedication of our staff and governors and the incredible support we receive from parents and carers.
