We are celebrating our impressive first-ever public examination results following our expansion to GCSE provision.
91% of our English, Maths and Science results achieved at grades 9-4
100% of French candidates secured top-tier grades of 9-8
100% grades 9 - 6 in Art and Music
Value-added +3 A significant number of pupils surpassed their initial baseline forecasts by up to 3 full grades
We are proudly non-selective and welcome pupils at all stages of their education. Our Class of 2026 joined us at various key points, from Reception, Year 3 and Year 7, with some pupils joining in Years 9 and 10 to benefit from the personalised support and challenge we provide during GCSE.
These results highlight the added value of a Durlston education, with a number of our pupils achieving up to three grades higher than their baseline forecast.
We are absolutely delighted and extremely proud of the Class of 2026. The pupils thoroughly deserve this success. Their hard work, resilience and determination have been exemplary throughout their studies.
These results mark an important milestone in the school’s 123-year history and reflect our longstanding commitment to nurturing individual talent and confidence.
Pupils are now planning to continue their studies at a range of FE schools and colleges including Winchester College, Barton Peveril, Brockenhurst College and Bryanston School.
