Results & Destinations

Success looks different for every child.

At Sherrardswood, our pupils achieve excellent results because they are known, supported and challenged as individuals. As a proudly non-selective school, we measure success not simply by grades, but by the progress every child makes and the confidence they gain along the way.

Top 3% value added means our students reach places they might never have reached elsewhere.

As a non-selective school with a small cohort, headline percentages never tell the full story. We are as proud of the student who earns the grades for their chosen college as of those securing 7s, 8s and 9s and staying with us into Sixth Form.
