Lady Lumley’s School celebrates record-breaking results

Lady Lumley’s Year 11 have today (August 20) collected their GCSE and BTEC results, which have broken the record for the school which was set in 2025.

At all thresholds, Lady Lumley’s students have excelled, with many students adding well over half a grade to their targets.

An amazing 69% of students achieved a 5+ in English and Maths and 83% achieved 4+ in English and Maths.

Clair Foden, Principal, said: “I couldn’t be prouder of our students’ success! These life changing results are the product of a great home/school partnership.”

Mr Fairclough who worked closely with this year group, said: “It has been a pleasure to work with our dedicated Year 11s this year culminating in their fantastic Prom celebration at Sandburn Hall.

"From ice cream vans to lunchtime bingo and epic Duke of Edinburgh adventures, this Year group has embraced what it is to be Lady Lumley’s students – work hard, play hard and achieve fantastic outcomes in classroom and beyond.” The success of the school‘s students is deep and wide, with some students securing grades over 10% above national averages.

There have been many outstanding results, however Rosabel Golder’s seven Grade 9s are an incredible achievement.

Eve Foster and Charlotte Pool are amongst a crew of excelling students all received top grades 7-9 in all their subjects; a testament to their hard work.

Mr Carter, Head of Sixth Form, fresh off the success of Lady Lumley’s A Levels last week, is excited to get started with the new Year 12.

He said: “Enrolling students onto A Level and BTEC courses at Lady Lumley’s Sixth Form is a delight. Our proven track record of success gives our families well placed confidence that they can build on their brilliant GCSE results.” Any students interested in joining Lady Lumley’s sixth form can contact Mr Carter on [email protected].
