GCSE Results 2022

There were lots of smiles as Hymers students once again celebrated receiving top GCSE results. The average grade awarded across all subjects and all pupils was a grade 7 (equivalent to an A under the old system) and the most commonly awarded grade was a grade 9, the highest grade achievable.

Headmaster Justin Stanley commented:

“I am so proud of all our students. After a challenging few years through the pandemic, our Year 11 students have shown true resilience and been rewarded by an excellent set of examination results.

“Of course, there are some clear standout results, perhaps most notably that the highest awarded grade 9 is the most commonly awarded grade. However we also see some inspiring personal stories from pupils who, over their GCSE studies, showed incredible progress and today received grades far beyond what they first hoped to achieve.

“In addition to their accomplishments in the classroom, many of these young people have contributed with commitment and expertise in the wider life of the school, excelling in sport, music, drama, thereby bringing joy to the school community and enriching their own lives. I am so impressed with each and every student and the progress they have made throughout their time at Hymers.”

Anxious faces arriving to collect results quickly changed to beaming smiles from both students and their parents and guardians as envelopes were opened and results revealed. Hymers students achieved a 100% A Level pass rate and, as well as some impressive results in core subjects like Maths, English and Science, in other subjects extraordinary results were achieved. 96% of Economics students achieved A*-B grades, all Classics grades were either A*or A, and over 80% of Computer Science candidates achieved A* or A grades. With these results many Hymers students are heading off to top universities to study a range of subjects from Economics to Medicine and Languages to Architecture. Many are also pursuing different and exciting opportunities beyond the traditional university route including apprenticeships and careers in the performing arts.
