Academic Results
At Churston, our students consistently achieve exceptional academic results, placing us among the top state schools nationally. But behind every grade is a story of hard work, resilience, and dedicated teaching.
"Leaders provide a broad and ambitious curriculum. There are high expectations for what all pupils achieve. Pupils are happy at school and enjoy strong relationships with staff."
Opening doors to the future
We are incredibly proud of the outcomes our students secure year after year. At GCSE, our students make progress that sits well above the national average, a testament to their work ethic and the expert guidance of our teaching staff.
This momentum continues into our Sixth Form, where strong A Level performance opens doors to regular acceptances at Oxford, Cambridge, and Russell Group universities, as well as highly competitive degree apprenticeships.
At Churston, we know that results matter, but we also know that the best way to achieve them is by putting student wellbeing first.
Nationally Recognised
Churston Ferrers Grammar School was named as Highly Commended in the State Secondary School of the Year category in the prestigious Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2026. This recognition reflects not just our exam performance, but the rounded, supportive educational experience we provide to every student.
For 2025 and 2026, there will be no Progress 8 scores because of COVID-19. Historically, Churston has achieved positive scores such as +0.62 in 2023, meaning that students at Churston make significantly more progress from the end of primary school to the end of Year 11 than the national average.
Historically, 100% of our students move successfully into higher education, apprenticeships, or employment, with many securing places at top-tier universities.
We offer a range of specific tools and guidance for these important exam years. This includes exercises on memorising information, advice on coping with exam pressure, and help with planning revision.
Churston students achieved superb GCSE results in summer 2025 - the best results in Torbay. 20% of all grades were Level 9, 60% of all grades were Level 7-9 and the Attainment 8 score was 71.2 (this means the average grade was 7.12).
Our A level students secured outstanding results last summer. 45% of all grades were A* or A and fully 25% of our students achieved AAA or better. These were the best A level results in Torbay.
