Gibraltar: GCSE and A Level Results


GCSEs

Across Westside and Bayside Schools the GCSE pass rate was 74.3% for grades 4 - 9, which is above the UK average of 67.4%. The Department of Education believes it is essential to report on the full range of pass rates 9 -1 (and A*-G) rather than focusing solely on the traditional A* - C (or 9-4) benchmark. By this metric the pass rate is 99.3% across all grades above a U. The pass rate for top grades (between 7 - 9) was 23.9% across both schools and 22.7 including Gibraltar College.

A Levels

This year marks a rather special milestone for the Department of Education in that it is the first year that the young people receiving their Level 3 / A Level results have completed their entire educational journey in a coeducational setting. The Department is pleased to report a notable overall pass rate of 89% across the three Government institutions within the Consortium of Bayside and Westside Schools and Gibraltar College.

Minister for Education, Professor John Cortes, reflected on this milestone day and the many  pathways now open to young people: "Results day is both a conclusion and a beginning - the closing  chapter of our students’ school journey and the first steps into the opportunities that lie ahead. Whether  they accept a scholarship, take time to defer, or pursue another pathway, their time in our exceptional  schools, guided by dedicated and inspiring teachers, has helped shape their character and aspirations.  Seeing young people grow in confidence, skills, and ambition year after year is one of the most rewarding  aspects of working in education. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to each student as they embark on  the next stage of their journey, with every best wish for the future."
