Cognita Students Buck National GCSE Results Trend Once Again Under New Grading Structure

In English Language and Maths, Cognita students achieved:

The results of Oscar Brogen at North Bridge House Senior School & Sixth Form Canonbury in London are just one example of our students' exceptional achievements in the 2018 examinations. Oscar achieved nine GCSEs at the very highest Grade 9, as well as two A*s in unreformed subjects (those still marked under the former GCSE grading structure). 27% of all grades awarded at North Bridge House Canonbury were a Grade 9.

This is the second year of reform for English Language, English Literature and Mathematics with the 9-1 grading scale in England . Another 20 reformed subjects (taking the total to 23) have been assessed this year, including a new Double Award in Science.

Stuart Rolland , Cognita's Chief Executive Europe, said, "We are so proud that Cognita students continue to buck the national trend which shows a flat trajectory under the new grading structure. These outstanding results are testament to the hard work and dedication of both the students and their teachers. We wish our students every success as they prepare to take their next steps towards future studies and exciting careers."

The GCSE (British National Curriculum) is taught in many of Cognita's 70 different schools across the world, particularly in the UK and Spain . Other curricula taught in our schools include the American Curriculum, Australian Curriculum and International Baccalaureate where outcomes are similarly well above national and international averages.
