GCSE Results Day 2025 - The Boys' Stories

We are proud to celebrate the achievements of our Year 11 students as they receive their GCSE results today, marking the culmination of five years of dedication, growth, and resilience.

We extended our heartfelt congratulations to all students, recognising not just their academic results, but also their personal development throughout their time at Priory.

Here's how the boys got on...

Daniel celebrated Grade 9 in Further Maths, Maths and French and not surprisingly he wants to take his Maths further.

“I want to go to LUSoM (Lancaster University School of Mathematics). I am happy with my Grade 9s.”

Jake has never wavered from his ambition to go into cyber security. “I got the grades to get me there! I am happy, especially with my Grade 8 in Maths. I got a Grade 5 in Further Maths which I am pleased with as it was really hard and I didn’t know if I would pass.

“I want to go to Newman College to study Maths, Physics and Computer Science A-Levels. I want to do an apprentice degree in cyber security. That’s always been the plan.”

Ethan said his results were ‘pretty good.’ He achieved a Grade 8 in Maths and Physics, among his superb results.

“I got a Grade 7 in my mock exams so I am happy with an 8 and also a Grade 5 in Further Maths. I was also pleased with a Grade 6 in English Literature, I did better in that than I thought.

“I want to go to Runshaw to study Maths, Physics and Computer Science and I will just see where it takes me!”

Tom hopes to become an environmental engineer.

“I achieved four Grade 8s and my biggest surprise was a Grade 8 in English Language. To be honest, straight after the exam, I thought I had failed it.

“I was really nervous about picking up my results and when I saw a Grade 8 I thought it was a mistake!

“I want to go to Runshaw College and so Engineering and Geography which will hopefully help me become and environmental engineer and then I want to do Photography as it’s fun.”

Afnan aims to make money!

“I was surprised as I got a 9-8 in Combined Science, I didn’t expect that! I got a 5/6 in my English Literature mock so I improved on that with a Grade 7.

“I want to go to Newman College and study Economics, Maths and Chemistry. I just want to make money!”

Damari wants to be a Civil Rights lawyer.

“I want to fight for my rights, I admire people like Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. They really inspire me.”

Damari achieved a Grade 8 in History and English Literature and said: “I did better than I thought I would in English Lit. I did hope for a 9 in History but Mr Eccles has spoken to me about it and a Grade 8 is still a fantastic result.

“I want to do A-Level Law at Newman College and also a BTEC in Criminology and Sport. I am into tennis and want to play for the college team.

“My dream is to have my own law firm with branches in Africa and the Caribbean.”
