Summer 2025 

​

I am delighted to share the outcomes from this year’s GCSE and A-level results. As ever, these achievements reflect the hard work of our students, the commitment of their families and the dedication of our staff. They are a fantastic set of results of which the whole community should be exceptionally proud.

​

GCSE Results 

This year’s GCSE results are once again excellent. Students achieved an Attainment 8 score of 64.7, maintaining JFS’s position as one of the strongest non-selective schools in the country. 91% of students achieved a Grade 4+ in both English and Maths, 79% achieved a Grade 5+ in both English and Maths, 54% of all GCSE grades were Grade 7 or above and 36% of all GCSE grades were a Grade 8 or above.

These outcomes are a testament to the consistent effort seen across the year and the support provided at home and in school.

 

A-level Results 

At A-level, it was another exceptionally strong year. Our Average Point Score (APS) is 45.5, which is up on last year and continues to reflect high levels of attainment across the Sixth Form. With 24% of all grades an A*, 55% of all grades A*-A and 84% of all grades A*-B, the cohort of 2025 have been fantastic in their tenacity to study.

 

As ever, students are progressing to a wide range of high-quality destinations including Russell Group universities, competitive apprenticeships and specialist training programmes.

Summer 2024

​

Our provisional A-level APS is 45.3 which is slightly down from last year’s 47.0 but holding up well given the concerns we had of a weaker cohort. We will complete a progress calculation tomorrow which should give us a better relative comparison. Part of the reduction is also due to the final readjustment to pre-Covid distributions with an expectation that 25.4% of grades nationally will be A*-A versus 27.2% of entries last Summer.

​

At GCSE, congratulations to all the students at JFS for an excellent exam performance. 95% of students have passed both English and Mathematics, and at 48%, nearly half of all grades were a ‘Grade 7’ or above. 30% of all grades were a ‘Grade 8’ or above and I am extremely proud of all the effort that students, parents and teachers alike have put in. To have 83% of all grades a ‘5’ or higher is a fantastic achievement.

 

Special congratulations go to Jacob Stadler, Zac Simmons, Leah Baron, Libby Frenkel, Zac Lightman, Zachary Schneider, Dani Nissim, Harry Jager, Noah Graham, and Talia Jaffe all of whom achieved eight or more Grade 9s.

 

Having joined the community just a few years ago, the focus that families place on education is incredible and it is great to see all Jewish schools doing so well. Well done to everyone!

Summer 2023

​

The GCSE and A-level results of 2023 at JFS are a testament to the incredible hard work of all our students, staff and the families that support them. JFS continues to be one of the very best non-selective schools in the entire country and has recorded substantial increases against the last set of national data published in 2019.

​

At GCES, our Progress 8 score has increased from +0.89 to +1.20, a score which places us within the top 30 schools nationally. In addition, our Attainment 8 score of 65.3 places us with the top 50 schools nationally, as does the fact that 88 percent of student achieve a Grade ‘5’ of above in GCSE English and Mathematics. With an average EBacc points score of 5.84, we are well above the national average of 4.27 and the Brent average of 4.87. In a fantastic effort from our students, 21% of all grades at GCSE were a ‘Grade 9’ and 62% of all grades were 9-7.

​​

At A-level, 60% of grades were A*-A and 26% of grades were A*. 88% of all grades were ‘B’ or above and fifteen students achieved straight ‘A*’s! All students with offers from Oxbridge were successful and over half of all Sixth Form students have secured a place at a Russell Group University. It is an incredible achievement and one of which all those involved should be hugely proud! BTEC grades were equally strong and with an Average Points Score of 47.0 across the Sixth Form, the average grade at JFS is an ‘A’.

​​

Congratulations to every single Year 11 and Year 13. With an A-level retention rate of 96% and 77% of Year 11 students choosing JFS for Sixth Form, we are proud to be a constant in the lives of those families who have entrusted their children’s education to us.
