Examinations

Chelmsford County High School provides outstanding education for the most able. It combines the strengths of an academic education, with a dynamic approach in response to the demands of our rapidly evolving global world.

We believe that our students have the potential to become ‘the leaders of tomorrow’. With us, they experience numerous opportunities to acquire knowledge, qualities and skills that will ensure their success as lifelong learners, who will have a significant impact on the future, in whichever field they choose.

Throughout their time at CCHS, our students are encouraged to take on leadership roles, develop their individual talents and contribute to the local and global community. They learn to take responsibility for themselves and others, become principled, reflective and articulate, whilst developing resilience and enjoying hard work, as well as fun activities and friendly competition. We have a broad curriculum, with a wide range of subjects at all levels which is particularly well suited to highly able students who have the ambition to continue their education in the most competitive universities in the UK and abroad.

GCSE results – Summer 2023

We congratulate a fantastic year group on their superb GCSE results.

We declare our collective congratulations to our Year 11 students. Across all subject areas, including English, mathematics, the sciences, the arts, humanities, languages and sport, their GCSE results demonstrate impressive scholarly strengths and inspiring human qualities.

There are countless individual stories of hard work, commitment and success, particularly when we remember the challenges that all students faced over the pandemic period. Indeed, 125 students achieved eight or more 9-7 grades, with 90 students achieving ten or more 9-7 grades. Moreover, 35 students achieved ten 9-8 grades, with 9 students achieving eleven 9-8 grades.

Students have demonstrated strength across the curriculum through their GCSE studies, with eight subjects, covering the arts, humanities, modern and classical languages and STEM seeing 90%+ 9-7 grades.

We celebrate the achievements of each and every one of our wonderful students. We are looking forward to working with them on their personalised programmes of Advanced Level courses, as well as welcoming new students to our school.

Students will rightly progress to the Sixth Form with great confidence, enjoying a host of academic and enrichment opportunities, as they write another chapter of excellence at CCHS.

A level results – Summer 2023

We celebrate a wonderful year group for their excellent A level results and their wider school achievements and contributions.

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of our Year 13 students. Many congratulations to them on their A level examination results and for all that they have contributed to the CCHS community over the years.

This cohort of students are an inspiring group of young people. They did not get to sit their GCSE examinations in 2021 due to the changes made by the central authorities. They impressed us during their A level studies over the past two years. Students worked hard and positively with their teachers and supported each other so well with ambition and compassion. They enriched the wider life of the school and beyond through their work as prefects and school officials, running clubs and societies, as well as participating in concerts, productions, sporting events and House activities.

Students have demonstrated strength across the curriculum through their A level studies, with seven subjects, covering the arts, humanities, languages and STEM seeing a full sweep of the top three grades. Moreover, 62 students achieved three or more A*-A grades, with 29 students securing four or more A*-A grades.

The CCHS community continues to be proud of the range of courses our students go on to read at a host of universities across the country and beyond. Students are going in numbers to study Medicine, Economics and Psychology – all of these courses are increasingly competitive, with Medicine having particularly challenging entry requirements. Strength in Modern and Classical Languages continues to be a feature of the school’s results. Indeed, with courses in the Arts, Business & Finance, Humanities, Languages, STEM and the Social Sciences being taken, we know our Year 13 students will enjoy their degree studies and enrich the universities they attend.
