I am absolutely delighted and hugely proud of our Year 11 students. These excellent results reflect their hard work, determination and resilience. Today is about celebrating their achievements and looking forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Whether returning to Denefield Sixth Form or pursuing other pathways, we wish every student every success for the future.

- Mrs K Davis, Assistant Headteacher and Director of Key Stage 4

Congratulations to all of Denefield School's Year 11 students on their excellent GCSE and Level 2 BTEC results.

Students have worked exceptionally hard throughout their studies and we are immensely proud of their achievements. Denefield's results are extremely strong, with over almost three-quarters of students achieving standard passes (grade 4+) in both English and Mathematics, and nearly half securing a strong pass (Grade 5+) in both subjects. In many subjects, more than half of students achieved grades 9-7 or Distinction*/Distinction - the highest grades available.
