Weston College is celebrating an exceptional set of GCSE resit results after students collected their November examination outcomes today (8 January) at the College’s Knightstone Campus. 

A total of 176 students took their English and/or Maths GCSE resits in November, achieving a 100% pass rate across both subjects. Notably, 36.7% of English students and 37.1% of Maths students achieved high grades (grade 4 or above/previously graded as a C or above), significantly exceeding national benchmarks. 

When compared with summer 2025 national averages for students achieving a standard pass (grade 4 or above), Weston College students’ outcomes show a remarkable improvement: 

• English Language: National summer average 20.9% with Weston College November resit 36.7% (+15.8%)
• Mathematics: National summer average 17.1% with Weston College November resit 37.1% (+20%) 

These figures reflect the dedication, resilience, and hard work of both our learners and staff, far exceeding typical national outcomes and underlining the College’s commitment to student achievement. 

The November GCSE resit series provides post-16 students who did not achieve a grade 4 or above in English or Maths during the summer with an early opportunity to improve their results, supporting progression into further study, apprenticeships, or employment. 

Students collected their results online or in person from Weston College’s Knightstone Campus, where the English and Maths teams were on hand to offer advice, guidance, and support for next steps. 

Weston College is proud of its students’ achievements and of the dedication of staff who helped learners exceed national benchmarks in both subjects.
