About us
Academic
Oakhill’s 2026 GCSE results once again demonstrate that academic excellence and personal growth go hand in hand.
Once again, Oakhill results for English and Maths are well above national averages. The pass rate for English and Maths remains consistently high enabling pupils to move onto their relevant courses and destinations after GCSE. With scientific research showing that class sizes below 20 are associated with measurable gains in literacy, numeracy, and longterm attainment, our results are not surprising. Here at Oakhill, small class sizes allow for teachers to build meaningful relationships with pupils and understand their individual needs.
