Didsbury High School received their first set of GCSE results this summer and could not be prouder of the students’ achievements. 60% of students achieved at least a grade 5 (strong pass) in both English and Maths where, for comparison, the 2023 national average was 45%.
On top of this, nearly 40% of the school’s grades were grade 7 or higher. This is particularly impressive considering the range of academically rich subjects that the students were entered for with almost 90% of students being entered for the English Baccalaureate.
Didsbury High School’s Year 9 GCSE language results were once again, phenomenal. Over 75% of the grades were at least a 5 (strong pass) and almost 50% were grade 7 or above. For comparison, 55% of students who have chosen to study a language at GCSE nationally achieve at least a 5. The school’s language GCSE results continue to impress and exceed national averages.

Katie Houghton, Head of School, commended students and staff by saying:
“These results are a testament to the hard work that our students and staff have dedicated over the last five years. The overwhelming support from our parents and carer community has been fundamental to this success. Best of luck to our Year 11 leavers in their future endeavours and we look forward to welcoming many of you back into the Sixth Form in September.”
David Woolley, Executive Head of School, added:
“We knew that our students would make us proud with what they would achieve from the moment they started with us. This was true during our first Ofsted inspection in January where they were part of the team that secured Outstanding judgements in all areas. However, these results are the real testament to all the hard work and dedication our Year 11s have put into their studies. We couldn’t be prouder!”.
