Barking and Dagenham GCSE Results Day 2023

Students across Barking and Dagenham celebrated another year of excellent GCSE results despite an expected national decline in average grades.
GCSE results were expected to return to 2019 levels, however, many schools across the borough achieved results that have improved on 2019.
Almost half (48.9%) of students achieved grade 5-9 in English and Maths - well above the 2019 England national average and up by just under 6% from the borough’s 2019 results, the last time exams were set without special arrangements.
Over a quarter of pupils received a 7-9 grade in English marking a 3.8% increase on the 2019 results and equalling the 2022 results.
Ebacc (English Baccalaureate) results were up across the borough against comparable years as well.
