Latest Results
Highlights:
Not content with just matching the remarkable results of 2025, the class of 2026 have broken more school records across a number of areas. Importantly for their future choices and opportunities, one such record was the numbers achieving a strong pass (grade 5 or higher) in both English and Mathematics, which rose for the second year in a row to 46%.
While across the country, there remains a persistent disadvantage gap where students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and/or those in receipt of free school meals (FSM) make far less progress than their peers, at Mossbourne Fobbing Academy, results for such students increased sharply and are now in line with their peers. This breaking of a stubborn and persistent disadvantage gap is a significant achievement that will support the most disadvantaged students to fulfil their potential.
Other records were broken in English where results were once again notably above national averages. Almost one third of students achieved the highest grades (7 or higher), while more than two thirds secured a strong pass (grade 5 or higher) – a figure expected to be nearly 20% higher than the national average.
There was further outstanding performance across the wider curriculum. History continued to excel and were joined by many of the arts subjects, including Drama and Dance, in achieving results that far surpass national benchmarks.
Once again, congratulations to our students and staff for this outstanding achievement.
