Media Release For immediate release Date: 22/08/2024 GCSE/Level 2 results published Today 653 students received their Key Stage 4 exam results across the Bailiwick. 69.8% of all GCSE results were graded 4 and above. This compares favourably to England where 67.4% of all GCSE results were graded 4 and above. Key Stage 4 covers all Level 2 exams, including GCSEs and BTECs. This was the first year in Guernsey and Alderney where the cohort taking their GCSE exams had entered high school through a feeder school system rather than through an 11+ selective system. As with last year, the Committee has published the results in a way which seeks to ensure our schools are comparable to our neighbouring jurisdictions. In addition to schools' results reported below, students at Le Murier also had successes gaining accreditations and qualifications in functional skills, ASDAN, City & Guilds and BTEC. No public exams took place in 2020 or 2021, and in 2022 post-pandemic transitional arrangements were in place. Attainment across this period increased compared to the prepandemic year of 2019, by a higher rate than would be expected in a typical year. Data from these years should not be directly compared to this year's attainment data for the purposes of measuring change in student performance. Thus, comparisons are made with 2019 and last year (2023) .
