Outstanding GCSE Results for St Paul’s Students
Celebrations are in full swing at St Paul’s on Spencefield Lane in Leicester!
Principal Shelley Conaghan shared her pride and joy in the students’ achievements. “Our Year 11 students are an extraordinary group of young people. Despite facing significant disruption during their secondary school journey due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they have shown resilience, determination, and an unwavering commitment to success. Their GCSE results are a true testament to their positive attitude, self-motivation, and ambition.
It has been a privilege to teach this year group from Year 7 through to their GCSEs, and we are immensely proud of their achievements. We are especially delighted that so many of them will be continuing their studies with us in the Sixth Form.”
This year’s results highlight some remarkable progress on the already strong outcomes of 2024.
78% of students achieved at least a grade 4 in both English and Maths.
79% achieved five or more GCSE passes at grade 4 or above.
For our students, these results are the foundation for their next chapter, whether they choose Sixth Form study, apprenticeships, or preparing for university and the world of work.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our students, their families, and our dedicated staff, all of whom have played a vital role in supporting Year 11 to reach this milestone.
English Martyrs’ Students Celebrate Outstanding GCSE and BTEC Results
Students at English Martyrs’ Catholic School, on Anstey Lane, Leicester were filled with joy this morning as they collected their GCSE and Level 2 BTEC results. Hot on the heels of last week’s superb A-level outcomes, this year’s results once again reflect the school’s continued success, showing further improvement on last year’s performance.
Across all subjects, 75.7% of students achieved five or more grades at 4+ including English and Maths. In addition, 76% of students secured a grade 4+ in both English and Maths, while 57% achieved the more challenging benchmark of 5+ in English and Maths.
Principal, Mathew Calen, praised the students’ achievements:
“We are extremely pleased that our students’ commitment has been rewarded with these fantastic results. This is a testament to their hard work both inside and outside the classroom. It is particularly inspiring given that this cohort faced a disrupted start to their secondary education, making their success even more impressive.”
Looking ahead, the school is excited to welcome many of its Year 11 students into Sixth Form this September, alongside new applicants from other schools, as they embark on the next stage of their educational journey.

De Lisle College is once again celebrating another set of excellent GCSE results, with students achieving some of the school’s best outcomes to date. This year’s results highlight continued improvement across the board, with the school’s Attainment 8 score rising from last year.

A further 11 students secured a full set of grade 8s and 9s, while more than 60% of the year group achieved at least one grade 7 or higher – reflecting the breadth of talent and ambition within this year’s cohort.
Headteacher Chris Maher said:
"We are incredibly proud of our Year 11 students. These results are a testament to their determination, resilience and commitment, as well as the unwavering support of their teachers and families. It has been a joy to celebrate their success with them this morning, and we are excited to see what they go on to achieve in the next stage of their education and beyond."

Headteacher Clive Wright said:
"This is one of my favourite days of the year, when our pupils, whom we have taught, supported, and cared for over the past five years, see the culmination of their hard work and that of their teachers. It was wonderful to witness the joy and excitement on their faces this morning. We wish them every blessing for the next stage of their journey."
