We are delighted to celebrate the exceptional achievements of our students, with an outstanding 85% securing grades 9-7 in English Literature and/or Language. Students also excelled in Maths, Sciences, Latin, Design Innovation, Music and Modern Foreign Languages.

Over the years, this year group has grown into confident, capable, and collaborative young people. They have thrown themselves into school life, whether organising charity fundraisers, mentoring younger students, performing on stage, or representing Brighton Girls on the sports field.

Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as they move onto Sixth Form, ready to embrace fresh challenges and explore new opportunities. They leave us with the knowledge, skills, and self-belief to thrive in whatever they choose next.

Mel Shea, Head of Brighton Girls, said:
“We couldn’t be prouder of our GCSE students. Over their time with us, they have not only excelled academically but also shown remarkable resilience, creativity, and kindness. They have supported one another and enriched our school community in a multitude of ways. This is their moment to celebrate, and we look forward with excitement to all they will go on to achieve.”

Brighton Girls Celebrate Exceptional A-Level Success

Staff, parents, and peers joined Year 13 leavers this morning to celebrate both outstanding academic achievement and the remarkable contributions of the Class of 2025 to the wider life of the school.

Stand-out achievements include:

Students were awarded top grades in their EPQs, and three students achieved the DELE and DELF language qualifications. Meanwhile, Latin, French and Dance departments are celebrating 100% A*-A grade success rate.

This brilliant cohort leaves a lasting legacy. They conceived and launched the LEAD project ‘Slice of Brighton’, creating their own Brighton cookbook, selling multiple copies, and winning an award from the GDST for Best Financial Performance as well as honourable mention for Social Impact. They have led younger students with care and creativity, bringing passion and flair to our school community.

A-Level grades are only part of the story. True success lies in how students pursue their passions. This year’s leavers are heading to a wide range of ambitious destinations, including Amherst College, Massachusetts, King’s College, Royal Holloway, University of London and University of Edinburgh.

Melinda Shea, Head of Brighton Girls, commented:
“Bright, energetic, talented, and community-spirited, our A-Level students have exemplified all-round excellence and fully deserve their incredible results. We wish them the very best in their future endeavours.”
