GCSE Success Report 2025: Students Beating Their Predictions

🎉 Congratulations to all our Super Thinkers students!
This year’s GCSE results are a testament to your hard work, resilience, and determination. Every grade represents hours of effort, commitment, and the courage to push beyond predictions – and we couldn’t be prouder of your achievements.

At Super Thinkers, we measure success not only by the grades achieved but also by how much students grow beyond their predicted outcomes. Our latest GCSE results analysis shows that with the right support, students can dramatically exceed expectations across the board.

The Numbers That Matter

From the latest cohort:

• 72% of all grades were higher than predicted
• 20% matched predictions
• Only 8% fell below predictions

This means that nearly 3 in 4 results showed measurable progress, a clear indicator of consistent development across the group.

Patterns of Improvement

📘 English and Humanities

• The majority of students achieved 2+ grades higher than predicted.
• Literacy-focused subjects consistently showed the greatest gains, demonstrating the effectiveness of structured reading and comprehension practice.

📊 Mathematics

• Outcomes were mixed but still positive, with over half of the students improving on their predicted grade.
• While most showed growth, some learners remain at risk in this subject, highlighting the need for targeted, ongoing support.

💻 STEM Subjects (Science & Computing)

• Over 70% of results met or exceeded predictions.
• Computing, in particular, proved to be a strong area for development, with many students achieving grades well above expectations.

Overall Gains

The overall data shows:

• The biggest improvements were concentrated in literacy and computing-based subjects.
• The pass rate was significantly above national expectations, with more students securing strong passes (Grade 5 or higher).
• The number of underperformances was minimal and isolated, suggesting most learners are making consistent progress.

Why This Matters

These results prove that predicted grades are not fixed outcomes. With the right guidance, personalised tuition, and exam-focused strategies, students can outperform expectations and achieve results that open doors to their chosen futures.

Conclusion

Super Thinkers students have once again shown that with the right environment and teaching approach, rapid progress is possible. The data highlights clear growth across multiple subjects, with nearly three-quarters of grades improving on predictions.
