Results shone brightly across the full gamut of subjects studied. Almost half of the year group got a 9 in maths with half the year group also gaining a 9 in both English Language and Literature. The sciences and the arts brought top grades too. Physics saw three quarters of all grades at either 9 or 8, Biology 90% of results at top grades 9 to 7 and Chemistry 91% of results at 9 to 7. The Drama department’s stellar performance saw 70% of grades at the top 9 and half of all grades in Art were also at grade 9.
2024’s stellar GCSE results follow hot on the heels of record-breaking A Level results last week with over 70 per cent of results at A* or A grades and 92 per cent at A* to B grades. Almost a third of all A Level grades were the top A* grade. The 2024 results secured impressive UK, US and global university destinations including a full scholarship at Princeton and an unconditional place at fellow Ivy League institution The University of Pennsylvania. Caterham pupils join the 50 Old Caterhamians currently studying at Oxford and Cambridge Universities and, for the second year running, 100 per cent of Caterham pupils applying for Medicine (8 pupils in 2024) secured their place. Overall, 85 per cent of pupils gained their first choice university place.
2024’s A Level and GCSE results once again secure Caterham’s position in the premier league of independent schools and follow a glowing Independent Schools Inspection report in spring 2024 and the Times Educational Supplement naming Caterham as the UK’s top independent senior school in 2023.
