ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS
STATS AND FACTS | GCSEAs all examinations were cancelled following the outbreak of COVID-19, teachers were required to make a judgement of the grade they believed a pupil would have most likely achieved under exam conditions. These centre assessed grades (CAGs) were then submitted through the examining bodies’ external standardisation and finally, after much uncertainty the final grade awarded was the school’s centre assessed grade unless the standardisation produced a higher result. Under difficult circum-stances the cohort achieved outstanding GCSE results, with 24% of all grades a 9 and 48% of all grades being 9/8. 100 per cent of students gained five or more GCSEs at 9 to 4 grade and 79% of all pupils achieved 9-7 in the core subjects of Maths and English. Remarkably, 60% of the cohort achieved seven or more grades 9-7 and 40% of the cohort achieved an outstanding nine or more grades 9-7. Six pupils achieved straight grade 9s and a further nine pupils achieved all 9-8.

STATS AND FACTS | A LEVELS AND EPQThe Government cancelled all summer exams as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which meant students were required to participate in remote learning programmes rather than study at school. Grades awarded this year were based on school assessment.
A-Level results in this non-examination year were excellent, with 85% of grades at A*-B and an overall pass rate of 100%. Over half of our students gained A*/A in two or more subjects, with over 70% achieving all A*-B. Before the lockdown commenced in March, Cranleigh announced another excellent set of Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) results for the same year group. Most Sixth Formers at Cranleigh take an EPQ alongside studying for three A Levels. This year’s results were outstanding, with 81% of all EPQs graded at A*-B in the assessment window before lockdown.
