GCSE Results

We send our heartfelt congratulations to the Amery Hill School Class of 2026 following their superb GCSE achievements. This cohort’s performance reflects genuinely impressive attainment and excellent academic progress. The school has a recognised history of strong academic performance. We are delighted, however, to say that particularly pleasing results in 2026, across the full range of subjects, have led to the best attainment seen at Amery Hill School in recent years.

Throughout our students’ time with us, they have stood out for their resolve, diligence, and upbeat spirit, making a lasting impact both academically and across our broader school life. Their constant mutual support and genuine care for one another have reinforced the vibrant, supportive community we cherish here in the heart of Alton, at Amery Hill School.

In line with our motto, ‘Education for Life,’ our goal is to guide every student toward becoming an adaptable, self-assured, and capable young adult prepared for whatever the future holds. The Class of 2026 has truly exemplified this mission: they have excelled. Working hand-in-hand with our excellent staff and supported every step of the way by their families, they have shown precisely what happens when high ambitions are paired with hard work and integrity.

We could not be prouder of their accomplishments. This success stands as a testament to our core values: Independence, Creativity, Active Learning, Resilience, and Empathy. Armed with these traits, our departing students are exceptionally well-equipped to step into college, apprenticeships, or vocational training with clarity and conviction. Though their time at Amery began soon after a period of global uncertainty, their dedication has secured them a bright and defined path forward.

It has been an absolute honour to work with this remarkable group of young people. They leave behind a legacy defined by their vitality, strength of character, and good cheer. On behalf of everyone at Amery Hill School, we wish the Class of 2026 abundant success, health, and fulfilment as they embark on this next chapter.

Amery Hill School Exam Results

Explanation of Key Measures

Attainment 8

This is a measure of the total attainment points that a student achieves across a suite of 8 qualifications.  A number of criteria / conditions exist about how this figure is calculated, but in essence, it’s a measure of how well students attain in their 8 ‘best’ qualifications.

Progress 8

This is the main headline measure by which schools are ranked, and is published in the secondary school performance tables.  Progress 8 is a ‘value added’ measure; it compares a student’s Attainment 8 score with the Attainment 8 score for students across the country with a similar KS2 score. 0 is (approximately) the national average for Progress 8. A positive score indicates that, on average, students have made better than average progress.

Note: for GCSE exams in 2025 and 2026, no Progress 8 figures will be calculated as students in these year groups did not complete KS2 exams due to the Covid Pandemic.

English & Maths 4+ / 5+

This indicates the percentage of students who have achieved at least a Grade 4 (Standard Pass) or a Grade 5 (Strong Pass) in both English (Language / Literature) and Maths.

Destination Measures

This shows the percentage of students who entered and sustained (for at least six months) education, employment, or an apprenticeship.
