Students at Fortismere have once again impressed us with their GCSE and BTec results. Our students have excelled themselves in their achievements.  Nearly 1 in 4 GCSE grades was either an 8 or a 9 and 41% of grades achieved  were 7 or above which is significantly above both national and London averages. 

It has been a superb year for GCSE and BTEC results at Fortismere. Echoing last year’s GCSE results, we are once more bucking the national trend for outcomes, with higher grades exceeding those achieved in 2019 (pre-covid era).  88% of students received a grade 4 or above in Maths, with an impressive 75% gaining a ‘good pass’ (grade 5) or above.  English also achieved remarkable results, with 89% gaining a grade 4 or above and 80% achieving a grade 5 or above in English. These results are particularly impressive in a fully inclusive comprehensive school. We are incredibly proud of the performance of  the students who face greater barriers to their learning with our students with SEND and students from Disadvantaged backgrounds significantly outperforming their national peer groups with strong positive progress. We are exceptionally pleased for the students following our KS4 pathway in our alternative provision,  Finch. They all attained at least good passes in every GCSE subject they sat. These outcomes will ensure our students can pursue their post-16 ambitions, the vast majority of whom will be staying with us to study at our successful and exciting Sixth Form

Such outcomes, as always, are achieved due to the dedication and hard work of our students ably supported by their teachers.  Our students have shown such grit, resilience and determination during two exceptionally challenging years and we are very much looking forward to seeing what they will achieve when they are back in school engaging with their learning in September.
