Exam Results

“We’re really pleased and also proud of our pupils because they’ve done brilliantly from their starting points and seeing their smiling faces makes it all worthwhile. There’s been five years of hard work, dedication and teenage issues that invariably come up, and to see the culmination of that is brilliant. You have to remember these are their first independently marked public exam since primary school. Students sometimes doubt themselves along the way and these results are great for their self-esteem because it’s proof they really can do it.

We are proud of all of our students and wish them every success for the future. Northgate is a school which caters for all, supports all, and maximises the potential of all.

As Heads of School, we extremely proud of the results at both A Level and GCSE, and of the teamwork with our hardworking and dedicated staff, which has secured such great outcomes with students”. – Zoë Galley and Duncan Hone, Heads of School
