9-7 and 9-5 grades are both significantly above national average, and 9-4 grades are a staggering 20% above national average. For a non-selective school, these are amazing results, and a testament to the hard work of both students and teachers.

Many students achieved a good spread of high grades, but special congratulations must go to Yoonho, who achieved seven 9s, one 8 and one 7; Yuvraj, who achieved six 9s and four 8s, and Alex, who achieved four 9s, three 8s and two 7s.

A special mention also for Eugene, who achieved the rare feat of 100% on all his Mathematics papers and to Evelyn and Daisy who achieved 194/200 and 191/200 respectively in Art.

Congratulations must also go to the Mathematics department, who achieved 41% 9-7 grades, Art (a very popular subject at GCSE and A Level) who achieved 47% 9-7 grades, and Latin, who achieved 33% 9-8 grades.

Dr Julian Murphy, Head, says “Well done to all Oratory GCSE students and teaching staff for these excellent results. With our unique Ex Umbris Learning Culture being fully rolled out this September, we look forward to ever rising results in the years ahead.”
