Other highlights include:

●      Three per cent of all pupils achieved a clean sweep of 9-7 grades (A*-A equivalent)

●      Excellent 9-7 rates for English (74 per cent), Maths (73 per cent) and Science subjects (74 per cent)

●      The average grade is 7.2 (higher than an A)

●      An average grade of an 8 in modern and classical languages – including Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish and Latin – with a 100 per cent pass rate.

The majority of the class of 2025 are progressing to study A Levels at Hymers’ sixth form.

Hymers headmaster, Justin Stanley, said: “Congratulations to all our students, from everyone at Hymers. To achieve the school’s best ever GCSE results is a truly remarkable achievement.

“It’s wonderful to see your great efforts rewarded with such an outstanding set of results.

“What’s most pleasing is to see each of you perform to the best of your ability and achieve the grades you so richly deserve, while exemplifying all the very best qualities of Hymers students – kindness, consideration, supportiveness, collaboration and ambition.

“Regardless of the pathway you’ve chosen, I’m optimistic you’ve laid firm foundations for future success.

“We look forward to welcoming back those of you who have chosen to stay on at the Hymers Sixth Form, and to seeing you thrive.

“To those who aren’t returning in September – stay in touch. You’ll always be part of the Hymers family.”
