Handsworth Grammar School attained an excellent set of GCSE examination results in the repeated light of considerable changes as a result of the continued overhaul of the exam system as well as volatility on a national scale. The overall picture at Handsworth Grammar School is one of consistent and sustained progress and very positive development. This is again due to the hard work and commitment of both staff and students alike. 45% of all entries were at A* and A grade which is up by 7% on 2014 and well above the national figure. 99% of students attained 5 or more A* to C grades and 98% attained 5 or more A* to C grades including English and Mathematics. Both sets of these figures are improvements on the 2014 results. 97% of all entries were at A* to C grade which again is an improvement on the 2014 results.

There was considerable and significant success across departments but it is worth noting that the ICT department attained outstanding results. At national level the Pearson (edexcel) exam board awarded 4% of ICT entries at A*, however Handsworth Grammar were awarded 42% of their entries at A* grade. Similarly Pearson (edexcel) awarded 15% of ICT entries A* or A grade at national level and yet 89% of Handsworth Grammar School entries were awarded A* or A grade.

31 students averaged an A grade across all their subjects and 44 students averaged an A grade across their Best 8 Subjects. Mohsin Ghandi and Hung Nguyen attained 9 A* and 2 A grades, Hummhad Mahmood and Rory Gaskin attained 8 A* and 2 A grades, Qasim Mushtaq and Rahul Patel attained 7 A* and 4 A grades, Raphael Dobrashian Yates attained 6 A* and 5 A grades whilst Syed Gillani attained 5 A* and 6 A grades.

Thus against a backdrop of continued national upheaval and considerable volatility it is clear that Handsworth Grammar School maintains its positive move forwards with regard progress and development.
