GCSE Results 2025
Our pupils achieved an overall pass rate of 98% with over two thirds of grades (67%) at A*-A level. 99.3% of the cohort achieved 5x A*-C grades including English and Mathematics, and 30% of the year group achieved at least 10x A*/A grades. Five Sullivan pupils achieved the impressive feat of 11x A* grades: Ruby McKillen, Owen Montgomery, Amelia Rodger, Olivia Thompson and Sarah Warren and an additional seven pupils gained 10x A* grades.
The Principal, Craig Mairs, said: “We are very proud of the achievements of our pupils and are delighted that their hard work has been rewarded. We are also grateful for the efforts of our committed and skilled staff team whose dedication has helped our pupils fulfil their potential. At Sullivan we talk to our pupils regularly about how it is not their grades that will define them, but their character. Many of these young people have illustrated this character through their superb contributions to the wider life of the school’s extra-curricular programme. We wish our pupils every success as they begin their A Level courses this autumn.”

A Level Results 2025
Sullivan Upper School’s A Level pupils are celebrating excellent A Level and AS Level results, which are reward for all their efforts during their courses. They represent the most impressive results at the school for many years (excluding those affected by the pandemic).
At A Level our pupils achieved an overall pass rate of 100%, with over half of all grades (52%) being awarded A*/A and 81% of grades at A*-B level. 88% of the cohort achieved 3x A*-C grades and 29% achieved at least 3x A grades.
Our top performer was Eve Moore who achieved the remarkable feat of 5x A* grades. Robbie Barnett, Conor Carton, Isabelle Myles and Holly Robinson gained 4x A* grades; whilst Josh Andrews, Anna Brewster, Katie Carson, Niamh Fulton, Rowan Jess and Megan Mountford all achieved 3x A* grades.
The Principal, Craig Mairs, said: “Once again, we are delighted that the hard work of our pupils has been rewarded. They have worked diligently, and they deserve this success. I would also pay tribute to the skill and dedication of our staff team who provide high quality teaching and tailored individual support. At Sullivan Upper our vision is that we become the best at treating pupils as individuals, and today we celebrate the success of each individual in the class of 2025 as they prepare for the next stage of their educational journey.
Sullivan’s Year 13 pupils have also enjoyed great success in their AS Levels with 52% of grades at grade A and 77% at grades A-B. Of those pupils who took at least three modular AS levels this summer, 81% gained at least 3x A-C grades. This gives them an excellent platform to build upon next academic year.
