GCSE Results 2026
Hugs, high fives and handshakes were the order of the day as our Year 11 pupils celebrated an exceptionally strong set of GCSE results.
Half of all GCSEs were awarded Grade 9 this year, an outstanding achievement. The wider picture was just as impressive, with 77% at 9–8 and 92% at 9–7.
40 pupils achieved a clean sweep of 8s and 9s, almost a third of the year group.
Celebrating alongside students and staff, Alex Frazer, Head of Bancroft’s, commented:
“Following on from last week’s excellent A Level news, I am thrilled about these superb GCSE results achieved by our extremely talented Fifth Formers. They have risen above even the exceptional standards already shown by their predecessors in recent years at Bancroft’s, and they have learned a lot about themselves and the value of perseverance and self-belief in the process!
My profound thanks as well to all my colleagues, who have taught, encouraged and supported them so assiduously.”
