Individual subject performances in Drama, English Language, English Literature, History, and Mathematics were also in the top 10%; while Chinese and Music were in the top 1% of schools nationally for value-added.

The 9-4 grades are more than 20% above the national average, and a testament to the hard work of both the pupils and teaching staff. There were many success stories and pupils who performed exceptionally well included: Freddie Askar who achieved seven 9s, one 8 and three 7s; Georgia Chesters who achieved three 9s, two 8s, four 7s and one 6; Fred Robinson who achieved three 9s, six 8s and one 4; Lily Huang who achieved three 9s, two 8s, two 7s and one 5;  Felix Somerville who achieved two 9s, one 8, four 7s and one 6; Steve Zhu who achieved two 9s, four 8s and three 7s.

Notable departmental performances were displayed in: Chinese 100% 9-8 grades; Music 50% 9-8 grades; Drama 67% 9-7 grades, Mathematics 55% 9-7 grades, and above 50% 9-7 grades in all three separate Sciences.

Matthew Fogg, Head Master, says “We've just finished a wonderful morning here at The Oratory School celebrating some incredible GCSE results with our pupils, their families and our teachers. This year’s results incredibly place us in the top 10% of schools for value-added and amazingly, grades nine to four are over 20% above the national average. Both of those statistics are a real credit to all of the hard work put in by the pupils, the support from their parents, and the efforts made by our teaching staff. Well done everyone, we can't wait to start their A Level journey this September.”
