Year 11 Results (2024)
This year our GCSE students have smashed all records! This is the largest cohort in years, who took a total of 1353 GCSEs, and 36.2% of these were awarded Grade 9, which is 4% higher than last year.
This elite grade is once more the most common GCSE result at Roedean by some margin. 79.1% of all GCSEs were awarded Grades 9-7, equivalent to the previous A*-A – this 5% increase on last year makes these the best-examined results in two decades.

|---|---|---|
| 9 | 36.2% | 32.1% |
| 9-8 | 60.2% | 57.8% |

Ten Grade 9s for Lydia
Congratulations to Lydia, who has achieved ten Grade 9s, along with a Grade 7 in Further Maths – what a remarkable set of results.
She is delighted with her results – ‘I’m just so happy!’, she said, holding her results sheets. These top grades are the result of so much hard work, and she is delighted that it all paid off – Lydia even has an app which recorded how much revision she did, and it reads ‘590 hours and 42 minutes’!
She is looking forward to studying English Literature, Maths, Spanish, and Classical Civilisation at A Level.
We are so proud of you, Lydia – well done!
Excellent GCSE Grades for Fen
Congratulations to Fen, who has been awarded 10 GCSEs with Grades 9-7, which are equivalent to the old A*-A grades – these include four Grade 9s and four Grade 8s. She came to Results’ Day with her mother, an Old Roedeanian, and they were delighted with what she has achieved.
Fen was part of the group of twelve students who went to Moldova in early July to teach English to Ukrainian refugee children, and she loved that experience and really rose to the challenge it presented. She is looking forward to moving into the Roedean Sixth Form, and she will thrive in this environment.
Well done, Fen!

PPE at Oxford for Ella
Congratulations to Ella, who achieved A*AA at A Level in Maths, History, and Physics, after joining the Sixth Form at Roedean as a Scholar. Her academic prowess was immediately clear, and it was no surprise when she was offered a place to study PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) at Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
She is incredibly proud of what she has achieved, and, on Results’ Day, she was very grateful to her teachers for their support over the last two years. She enjoyed being editor of one of the Roedean student newspapers, and is excited about the challenge which lies ahead.
Good luck, Ella!
Straight A* Grades for Abi
Abi has been awarded A* grades for A Level Music, Biology, and Psychology – what a remarkable achievement! She joined Roedean in the Sixth Form from Worthing, and has thrown herself into school life. She has an interest in undergraduate study in the Sciences, but is also an exceptional musician.
In Year 13, she achieved a distinction for her ABRSM Performance Diploma on Piano, indicating a standard far beyond Grade 8, and she is also an extremely talented saxophonist. She has taken part in many shows and performances during her time at Roedean, and enjoyed a wide range of opportunities. Abi is taking a gap year, teaching Piano, before going to university.
Congratulations, and good luck!
