Cundall Manor School has published its GCSE results for 2025, reporting an increase in the proportion of top grades compared with last year.
According to the school, 42% of all grades awarded were between 7 and 9, up from 30% in 2024.
The number of grade 9s achieved also doubled compared with the previous year.
The overall pass rate was reported at 87%, compared with a national average of 70.4%.
Every Year 11 pupil achieved a pass in English Language, and the school said 100% pass rates were also recorded in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Art, Computer Science, Drama, Design Technology, Geography, History and Music.
Headmaster Simon Weale said:
“It is important for our pupils to be able to obtain these top grades, as many are hoping to join competitive courses at the best independent and state settings.
"They are confident and caring young women and men who are looking forward to the next stage of their education.
"They have all been given leadership opportunities by the Cundall team, and the experience at the school has tested them with a range of challenges both inside and outside the classroom.
"This will allow them to thrive in their Sixth Form or College studies.”
The school highlighted individual student outcomes, including Jack, who achieved six grade 9s including Maths and will be joining St Peter’s in York.
Annabel, Joint Head Girl, also secured high grades and plans to pursue a career in professional football.
Ava achieved four grade 9s and three grade 8s and will be moving on to Yarm.
The school reported an average value-added score of 1.1, which it said means pupils achieved more than a full grade higher on average across all subjects compared with expected outcomes.
Cundall Manor School, a non-selective independent school located between Ripon and Thirsk, is holding its next Open Morning on Friday 26 September.
