Students across Nord Anglia Education's global family of schools are celebrating another year of remarkable I/GCSE success. This year's cohort of more than 3,380 — Nord Anglia's largest ever — saw almost half of all grades (48.5%) awarded at the highest 9–7 band.
These results, up from 48.1% across Nord Anglia last year, are equivalent to A*–A under the previous GCSE grading scale. They also exceed England's national average of 22%.
Standout successes included:

- Greengates School in Mexico achieved 45% of grades at 9–7, including four students who achieved grades of 9–7 in every subject.
Dr Kate Erricker, Interim Chief Education Officer at Nord Anglia Education, said: "We're incredibly proud of these results because more students than ever have taken their I/GCSEs at our schools and the standard they're achieving has continued to rise. Behind this remarkable progress are thousands of individual stories of students setting ambitious goals, teachers knowing how to bring out their best, and families supporting them every step of the way."
