Once again our commitment to raising a generation of ‘world and career ready’ students has been proven, with improving subject results in many areas and outstanding individual performances in this year’s GCSE outcomes.

• In Media Studies, there was a 30% gain at 4+ & 25% gain at 5+ (compared to 2024).

Behind each grade is a personal story of hard work, commitment and perseverance, and we are incredibly proud of all that our students have achieved. Among the class of 2025, there have been a number of standout performances, including:

• Shuaib, Bow School's highest achiever, attained an impressive 9999888877 and looks forward to his next chapter at sixth form, to study Economics and Maths, with ambitions to study Aerospace Engineering at university.
• Damla, Bow School Senior Prefect, celebrates 999888888777 and looks forward to attending Sixth Form in September, praising her teachers their endless support and passion for their subject.
• Having secured 9999988765 in his GCSE examinations, Zain plans to attend university to read Medicine, following the achievement of his A-Levels. He credits the school environment and support in helping him to achieve his results and chosen destination, describing his school experience as ‘rewarding’.
• With an impressive portfolio of 9888888776, Nasir looks forward to embarking on his next chapter at Bow Sixth Form to study and has his sights set on university and training as an Architect.

Our vision is to raise a generation of young adults, who are World and Career Ready, and we are confident that the results achieved today are not only the deserved rewards of students’ hard work and the dedication and support of our staff, but also the environment we have carefully cultivated: students can academically thrive, but also flourish into confident, well-rounded, and informed young adults. Our students are looking forward to a successful future, and many looking forward to being welcomed back at Bow School’s Sixth Form.

Celebrations follow a successful set of results from the Bow Sixth Form which exceeded last year’s outcomes, with the number of students achieving 3A*-A doubling, the number of students achieving AAB+ increasing by 24 percentage points and 81% of students achieving 1 or more A*-B and many students progressing on to respected universities across the country, including Oxbridge and Russell Group, impressive apprenticeships with prestigious organisations including Ernst & Young and coveted careers.

I am extremely proud of what our students have achieved this summer; the results we have seen are proof of their admirable determination, hard work and diligence. In conjunction with their academic studies, we believe that by supporting the development of a wide range of life and interpersonal skills we will help ensure our students are well-rounded citizens with the confidence and ambition to become successful leaders of the future.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our staff and parents for their ongoing invaluable support and contribution to our students’ achievements. Our aim is to provide a dynamic and exciting education to develop confident and ambitious young people; these fantastic results illustrate the commitment from both staff and students to making Bow School a successful local community school.
