Exam Results 2025
Our excellent results show that we know our students well as individuals, helping them to achieve the best they can.
Our GCSE results are consistently significantly above national results. Our students also make excellent progress - our latest Progress 8 score is ‘Above Average’ (DfE Performance Tables).
School statement on results day: We were delighted to be able to recognise our students' fantastic achievements when they collected their GCSE results. We’re incredibly proud of all the hard work, effort and commitment they put in to achieve these qualifications which will enable them to progress to the next stage of their education. They are a unique cohort of students whose end of primary school and beginning of secondary was transformed by the pandemic and we’re also incredibly proud of all they’ve achieved in navigating the challenges this brought.
We want to recognise too the tireless support for our students from our subject teachers, wider school staff and our students’ families, who all worked together to help them achieve success.
As a school we put huge value on the fact that exam results alone do not define our students, that many of the character traits that best describe them, their care for others, their determination and their contributions to our wider community, are equally important. We wish all our ‘Class of 2025’ the best of luck as they move on from Blatch - we know you’re going to continue to achieve amazing things - well done!
Blatchington Mill School also reiterates the joint statement from all secondary schools across the city:
‘Across Brighton & Hove, we are proud to recognise the incredible achievements of our students in what has been a year defined by ambition, resilience, and collective effort. Our schools, working in close partnership, have continued to create environments where every child is supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their potential.
The 2025 results are more than just numbers. They reflect the determination of our young people, the expertise of our educators, and a city-wide commitment to equity and excellence in education. This success story belongs to every student, every school, and every community that plays a part in supporting the journey from classroom to exam room and beyond.
To the Class of 2025 ... your achievements speak volumes. Whether your next steps take you into further education, apprenticeships, work, or new adventures, we are confident you’ll continue to thrive. We are proud of you and we will be cheering you on every step of the way.’
