GCSE and A-level results 2025
Hurst College students have much to celebrate as they achieved excellent results in both their GCSE and A-level exams.
This year’s very strong GCSE results are once again a reflection of the sheer dedication and hard work that has gone into this year group throughout their Middle School journey at Hurst. In a sign of real academic and intellectual strength at the top end, we have seen a significant uplift in the number of 8s and 9s, at a total of 57.5% of all grades awarded. Overall, an impressive 79% of GCSE grades were between 7 and 9.
The Head of College, Dominic Mott, paid tribute not only to those who achieved top grades, but also to those pupils who really engaged with the incredible range of support and interventions on offer. That individual support and those extra Clinics and revision sessions helped every pupil to achieve their personal best: “It’s just ‘what we do’ here at Hurst”, he said, “and our staff are so invested in the pupils’ success, which makes days like today even more special”.
The success continued with the Upper Sixth leavers, who celebrated A-level results day at Hurst with an exceptionally strong set of grades across a wide range of subjects. Over 88% of grades were awarded at A* – B, leading to a lovely community moment as the students returned to Hurst for the final time to open their envelopes, congratulate each other, and thank their teachers and parents who have supported them over the last two years.
The Head of College, Dominic Mott, commended what he described as a “fantastic collective achievement”, adding that he was “extremely proud of every student who has worked so hard to deserve these grades.” He was particularly pleased to see these grades “open doors to some of the finest university destinations in the country”.
In particular, Mr Mott highlighted the sustained improvements at the top end of the cohort. An impressive 60% of grades matched last year’s record for A* and As, demonstrating what he described as “the intellectual and academic rigour demonstrated by our talented Sixth Form students”. He also pointed out the remarkable success of the Extended Project Qualification, where over 92% of grades were awarded either A* or A. “This is proof not only of the students’ dedication and commitment, but also the independence and life skills that they have developed which will prepare them for life beyond Hurst”.
Hurstpierpoint College is proud of the achievements of all its students and looks forward to seeing them continue to thrive in their future academic and personal endeavours.
