Greenshaw is justly proud of its success in achieving the very best for its students. Our students successfully progress to a wide range of destinations both at the end of their GCSE and A Level courses.

Key stage 4

Over the last three years, our Year 11 results have always been in the top 20% of all schools (and for two of those years the top 10%), in the whole country. This was recognised by Ofsted when they visited, grading our ‘Quality of Education’ as Outstanding.

However, results days are not about the school’s achievements but much more about every individual student. Each set of student’s grades enables them to access their next stage of education and training, and this is the most important thing about a results day. We are delighted that our students in 2026 have collected results that will allow them to do just that.

Our class of 2026 receive some excellent results. 85% of all grades were at grade 4 or above, the equivalent of a grade C in the previous GCSE system. In addition, nearly 40% of all entries were at grades 7 to 9, the equivalent of a grade A in old money.

These grades represent the culmination of five years of effort in secondary school and students were supported unceasingly by their teaching and wider staff. The results of the 2026 exam season are the product of many, many hours of very hard work and dedication.

Headteacher, Mr House, said: “We are very proud of what our young people have achieved. This Year 11 cohort worked tirelessly to ensure that they got the very best grades and they fully deserve our respect. I am personally delighted that these young people are able to step out on to the next stage of their journey. I hope they do so with even greater self-confidence, knowing that they are capable of so much in the future."

Key stage 5 (16 to 18) information

In 2026, Greenshaw's Year 13 students headed off to study at some of the most prestigious universities in the world. No fewer than SIX students are heading off to train to be doctors, and others have been accepted on courses at world-leading Russell Group institutions, including the London School of Economics and King’s College.

Outside of London, Greenshaw students will be studying at the illustrious universities of Bristol, Durham, Exeter, Nottingham, Manchester, Southampton and Warwick, among others. 

We are delighted that Shantae achieved straight A* grades, which will see her attend Cambridge University to read Economics.  Congratulations to these other students who attained at least two A* grades: Amelia; Dominik; Indie; Izel; Rokith; and Vijun.

The average for all students was a grade B, and over one in four of all grades was passed at A* or A grade. In a comprehensive school like Greenshaw, we are delighted with this high level of attainment.

We are also very proud that a group of our students have been accepted onto degree apprenticeship courses. This expanding area of higher education is highly competitive, so for any student to get accepted is huge. The apprenticeships include civil engineering, financial services and are with global companies like Bloomberg, Visa and Thwaites, so each course is in a highly aspirational field. Well done to each of Bilai, Danny, Kieran, Priann, Rhushil and Saffi for this achievement.
