Outstanding 2024 GCSE Results

We are delighted to share the outstanding success of our pupils in the 2024 GCSE exams, further solidifying Heritage School’s reputation for academic excellence.

This year’s results surpassed last year’s achievements, with an impressive:

  • 86% of grades awarded 9-6 (national average 37%),
  • 74% awarded 9-7 (national average 23%),
  • 55% awarded 9 or 8 (national average 13%),
  • 35% awarded the top grade of 9 (national average 5%).

Headmaster Jason Fletcher announced the results, saying, ‘Our Year 11 pupils have done extremely well in their exams this year, and we are very proud of each one of them. Yet again, our pupils have exceeded what standardised assessments predicted they would achieve, showing that Heritage is a school that adds significant value. Our small size and our distinctive knowledge-rich, book-based culture really do work and enable our pupils to thrive in many important ways, including academically.’

Our 2024 leavers are set to continue their academic journeys at a variety of institutions, including The Perse School, King’s Ely Sixth Form, Stephen Perse Sixth Form, Chesterton Sixth Form, Hills Road Sixth Form College, Long Road Sixth Form College, Comberton Sixth Form, Impington International College, and The Oakes College Cambridge.
