Performance Data

We are delighted to share with you some headlines of the successes of our outgoing Year 11 pupils, ‘Cohort 2024’, after we received their GCSE and VTQ (Vocational and Technical Qualifications) results over the summer. Once again Cohort 2024 upheld the high expectations we have for all Fairfield pupils to achieving outstanding academic success.

We are very proud to report that a huge 65% of pupils achieved a Grade 5 (strong pass) or above in both English and Maths. We are particularly pleased with the 94 Grade 9s that pupils achieved, a figure that rises to 118 top grades when added to the D*s (Distinction Stars) that pupils achieved in vocational qualifications. In fact, one third of all results were Grade 7+ or equivalent, showing our pupils’ continued drive for academic excellence.

Here is how Fairfield’s Cohort 2024 GCSE and VTQ results compare nationally and regionally:

We strongly believe that our knowledge-rich and well sequenced curriculum, outstanding quality of teaching, strategic approach to intervention following the pandemic and our extended investment in personal development and pastoral support have supported Cohort 2024 in achieving life-changing outcomes. Pupils worked incredibly hard throughout their time at Fairfield and during Year 11 in particular, with guidance from their teachers and support staff. Their achievements are truly remarkable and evidence not just of their academic abilities but of their personal development, resilience and character. We also note and thank the support of parents/carers who have worked with us to ensure the very best for their children. Our relationships with families are key to supporting pupil development.
