Head of School, Amanda Griffiths said: “Particularly pleasing is the progress we have made this year. The proportion of pupils achieving grades 7–9 across all entries has risen from 24% to 30%, significantly above the national average of 22%. Similarly, 81% of all entries achieved a grade 4 or above, up from 77% last year and well ahead of the national figure of 67%.
“These results are encouraging given that the national picture has remained largely static compared with last year. They demonstrate the progress our pupils have made and the impact of the commitment and ambition within our school community.
“Behind every result is a huge amount of hard work. We want to congratulate our pupils for their dedication, thank our teachers and support staff for their expertise and commitment, and recognise the encouragement and support provided by families throughout the year.
“We are immensely proud of this year group. They leave Swanmore with a strong foundation for their future, and we are excited to see what they go on to achieve. We wish every one of them every success.”
