Examinations at The River School

Pupils at The River School have the opportunity to study both academic and vocational subjects at GCSE Level; these culminate with their summer examinations in their final year of study with us.

2025 Results

Once more our GCSE and BTEC students achieved some excellent results in 2025.

The Year 11 students have been a credit to themselves, The River School and their parents; diligently working hard to fulfil their academic potential. This is reflected in their results which included the top GCSE grades (7, 8 and 9) across a wide variety of subjects and all students should be pleased with their achievements. As a small, non-selective, school these results are excellent and we are proud of everyone!
