Academic Achievements
Our 2018 results show that academic success continues to be central to the life of the school
and I am delighted to report that last year’s Year 13 and Year 11 carried on our proud
traditions in this regard.
Our sixth form students have achieved another set of excellent A Level results this summer.
Almost a third of grades achieved (32%) were at A*/A, and in total 57% of Hulme’s grades
were at A*-B level. 32% of students achieved at least 2 A grades and 20% of the cohort
secured at least 1 A*.Hulme’s Year 11 students are celebrating having achieved a superb set
of GCSE results this summer. The overall pass rate (A*-C / 9-4) has risen to 99%, the highest
the school has ever achieved; with 97% of students achieving the national benchmark of 5
A*-C / 9-4 grades including English and Maths.
The % of the very top grades (A* / 9-8) rose by 12% and was also a school record at 32%.
Well over half of Hulme’s grades (55%) were at A*-A / 9-7 level, an increase of 6% from last
year. 44% of the cohort achieved the threshold of at least 7xA /7 grades for one of Hulme’s
academic scholarships to enter the sixth form, including 16 students who gained 9 or more
A*- A / 9-7 grades.
We are academically selective. The pursuit of academic excellence is at the very heart of
who we are as a school. As a result our students achieve highly. In 2016 our Year 11 students
achieved a pass rate of 97%, with over half (54%) of those grades at A* or A.
98%achieved the national benchmark of 5 x A*- C grades including English and Maths. 43%
of Hulme’s Year 11 achieved in excess of 7A* - A grades and 11 achieved 11A*/A grades.
In 2016 our over all pass rate was 99% with over 70% top grades (A*-B) achieved. 11 of our
students achieved in excess of 3 x A grades. Our top performers secured 5, 4, 3A * grades
respectively. We are proud of our success in STEM subjects at A Level. This year 76% of
grades in Maths and 79% grades in Physics at A Level were A* to B.
