What the data says

GCSE results in 2025 were above the national picture: Attainment 8 of 52.9 against 46.1 across England and 50.4 in Rutland, with 60% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
Chemistry is unusually popular at GCSE: 66% of the year group took it, against 23% of pupils across England.
