GCSE Case Studies 2025

Here are some of our year 11 students reflecting on their GCSE success at Lingfield College. 

Myles

JOINED LINGFIELD Nursery

RESULTS 3x9, 4x8, 3x7

"I’m particularly proud of my grade 9 in Physics because the paper was really difficult. All my teachers have been amazing, and I've got so much from science clinics and extra support.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES During my time at Lingfield I’ve also loved taking part in Model United Nations and running my own Entrepreneur club, and I’ll be busy preparing as Secretary General for Lingfield Model United Nations in December. 

NEXT STEPS Next year, I’ll be studying Physics, Maths, and Computer Science at Lingfield Sixth Form. I’m looking forward to exploring these subjects in more depth and taking on an EPQ."

 

Natasha

JOINED LINGFIELD Year 7

RESULTS 5x9, 3x8, 1x7

"The teachers were very supportive, especially Mrs Folkard, who was there for us every day before exams, and my History teacher, Mrs Groves, who helped me achieve a grade 9.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES I’ve enjoyed playing a lot of sports in Senior School, especially hockey, netball and cricket.

NEXT STEPS  I'm excited to move on to Sixth Form to study A Levels in French, Business and Spanish. I'm interested in seeing the differences between GCSE and A Level studies. I'm also looking forward to having more freedom in Sixth Form."

JOINED LINGFIELD Year 4

RESULTS 1x9, 7x8, 3x6, A in Additional Mathematics

"I’m really happy with my results. I’ve had a lot of support from clinics, and teachers are always available to answer questions. My German and Maths teachers were particularly helpful. I am really pleased with my Astronomy results as I worked really hard and it paid off.

NEXT STEPS I’m excited to experience Lingfield Sixth form life where I will be studying A Levels in Mathematics, Physics and Economics."

 

Tilly

JOINED LINGFIELD Nursery

RESULTS 4x9, 3x8, 3x7, A in Additional Mathematics

"I’m so happy with my results, especially the A in Ad Maths and my results in Economics and Physics. My teachers made sure I was ready for my exams filling in the gaps and preparing me beforehand.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES I’ve enjoyed playing a lot of sport in and outside of school, including A team netball and hockey.

NEXT STEPS I’ve chosen to study A Levels in Maths, Economics and Psychology at Lingfield Sixth Form, and I'm looking forward to sixth form life - smaller year group, classes and more freedom."
