Celebrating KS4 Results 2025 – Amazing work Sydenham students! 

Following on from our fantastic results for SFH6, we are delighted to share a fantastic set of KS4 results. 

We are thrilled that our students have achieved an excellent set of results which reflect the high-quality teaching and learning they have received over the past five years from our dedicated staff. Congratulations to all of our students: we are so proud of you! 

74% of students achieved a grade 4 and above in English and Maths and 50% at 5 and above. 83% of all students achieved a 4+ in English and 75% of our students achieved a 4+ in Maths.  

21% of all entries gained a Grade 8/9 and 32% of all entries gained a Grade 7 (A) or above.

There have also been some exceptional individual performances from Elsa and Aurora who achieved 10 Grade 9s, and Dora and Edie and who achieved 9 Grade 9s! 

These results showcase the collective effort of our entire school community. Our dedicated staff, supportive governors and committed families have all played crucial roles in this success. Most importantly, our students have demonstrated remarkable determination and resilience, investing countless hours in their studies.

You've not only earned these grades but also proven your ability to overcome challenges. We're immensely proud of your accomplishments and excited to see what you'll achieve next.

Post Results Services

Advanced Level results are published on Thursday 13th August 2026

GCSE and equivalent results are published on Thursday 20th August 2026

On these days, students are invited in to collect their individual provisional result slips from school in person from 9am as follows:

Year 13: 13th August, A level Results will be available from 8:30am to 12.00pm in the Main School Library.  

Year 11: 20th August, GCSES results can collected from 8.30-11am in the Dining Hall, followed by SFH6 enrolment 8.30am-11am

Where results cannot be collected in person, the candidate has two options outlined below. To arrange for either of these two options students most complete the results form in the link below:  https://forms.office.com/e/GWp4Qp2jcS

Option A: Results can be emailed to the student’s school email address, accessible via office365 and outlook.

Option B: Results are nominated to be given to a named person who needs ID on the day.

Results released on results day are provisional, subject to the outcome of potential Post Result Service enquiries.

The following Post-Results Services (see the special form) are available to students:

1) ATS (Access to scripts) – a copy of your script, mostly electronic, to see your actual answers

2) Review of Results (RoR) – a review of the marking. Please note this is not a remark, and that there is a fee for each individual paper reviewed. The school will usually pay this fee only if  the result is within 2 marks of the grade above. It is very important to know that marks can go down as well as up, and this can result in a grade change. Please see the fee table for costs.

Please be advised that nothing can be done until the Post Results Services form has been signed by you and returned to the Examinations Officer, Mrs Marczak at the school office or via email to a.marczak@sydenham.lewisham.sch.uk as soon as possible. Please note that this form can only be signed once you have received your results. We generally advise that a priority copy of the script is requested before a review of marking is applied for, so that subject staff can advise.
