At St Dunstan’s College, we are proud of the success of our students in all areas, including their academic achievements at Year 11.
In their summer 2025 examinations, our Year 11 students achieved an exceptional set of results, underlining the College’s reputation for academic excellence and ambition. An outstanding 55% of all grades were awarded at 9–8 (A*) – the highest on record for the College and a clear marker of St Dunstan’s recent academic momentum on the national stage.
In total, 90% of grades were awarded at 9–6 (A*–B) and 77% at 9–7 (A*–A). These remarkable outcomes build on last week’s record-breaking A Level success and further strengthen St Dunstan’s position among the top performing independent schools in the country.

We are immensely proud of our Year 11 students for achieving an exceptional set of GCSE results, with 55% of all grades awarded at 9–8 (A) – the strongest in the College’s history. Such an achievement reflects the academic excellence and ambition that defines St Dunstan’s, and it follows just a week after our record-breaking A Level outcomes. Together, these results cement our position as one of the top independent schools in the country.
‘National recognition through prestigious awards has highlighted the strength of our approach, and today’s grades are another powerful example of our commitment to delivering ‘Excellence. Differently.
