We were delighted with the performance of our Year 11 students. They performed exceptionally well this year placing the school amongst the top in the country. As a result, students were well prepared for their Sixth Form studies.

A total of 196 Year 11 students completed their GCSEs at Sandringham. 86% of students secured at least a 4 in English and Maths GSCE (standard pass) with 76% achieving a 5 or over (strong pass.)

The Attainment 8 score, the average of students’ best 8 subjects, was 6.11, equivalent to a B grade with 42% of all grades being A*/A.

The estimated Progress 8 score was 0.7 demonstrating that the Year 11 students achieved over two thirds of a grade higher in each subject compared to similar students in other schools. This puts Sandringham in the top 100 schools nationally, as recognised by the Department for Education.

We are very proud of all our Year 13 students who went on to secure their first choice places at university or on apprenticeship programmes.

With such excellent results, students are now reading for degrees at the country’s best universities. Many students are studying at prestigious Russell Group universities in traditional subjects such as Law, Economics or Geography. Our specialisms of STEM and the Arts are proving to be excellent preparation for university applications, with growing numbers of students in Art, Film and Media, Engineering and Computer Science. Sandringham also provides bespoke support for non-university pathways with a growing number of students choosing apprenticeships to continue their education.

They are now all members of the Sandringham Alumni and we looking forward to keeping in touch with them as they progress in their careers.
