GCSE Results 2024

Year 11 pupils have excelled at GCSE this year, with a third of grades at A* (9/8) and over 60% at A/A* (9-7). Results are as follows:

Value Added

Our most important examination statistic is for ‘Value Added’. This is the measure of improvement that our pupils make from joining the school in Year 7 to achieving their A Level results. We admit girls with a wide range of ability to Sutton High School, and we challenge them to achieve their own personal best.

On their first day of Year 7, all pupils (across the country) take a baseline test which uses statistical analysis to predict, based on their ability scores, the results they have the potential to obtain for GCSE. A school’s ‘Value Added’ score is the difference between these initial predictions of potential and the actual results obtained by pupils for GCSE or A Level.

At Sutton High this score is high, meaning that, on average, girls here attain higher grades, in every subject, than their ability score on entry to our school and pupils with lower starting points make particularly strong progress. As an example, in HIstory, our ‘Value Added’ score is 1.1, meaning that a pupil arriving at Sutton High School with a prediction of a 6 in History, is likely to attain a 7 or above at GCSE. This is referred to as the value we add, through teaching and through the education we offer. We believe this reflects the dedicated work of our pupils and the excellent, personalised support they are given by our staff.
