East Barnet School examination results can be found on this page, in year order. On each page you will also find the EBS results compared to national results. Further information and the ability to compare schools can be found on the DfE Performance Tables website.
Whilst at school, students will take GCSE and ‘A’ Level examinations, and will receive their final grades in the summer on exam results days (details of these will be advertised closer to the time). In preparation for the exams, students will take mock exams, as well as attend revision sessions and make good use of the EBS Learning Ladders. The Learning Ladders show the progress that students should make and what they need to do to make that progress. There are different Ladders for each subject, and they can be found by clicking here.
The examination and grading process has been through a transition period for GCSEs and ‘A’ Levels, with different subjects changing at different times. A brief overview of the changes can be found below:
If you are unsure about anything or you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school.
This year, we have had a record number of offers to Oxbridge for our Sixth Form students! A few of them made videos about what they have been up to, what they are going on to study, and about their time at EBS. Congratulations on making EBS history!

Given the uneven impact of the pandemic on school and college performance data, the government has said you should not make direct comparisons between the performance data for one school or college and another, or to data from previous years.

Each year we celebrate the students that have achieved the top grades in the school. These are the top GCSE students with the best 8 GCSEs; students with the top 3 A-Levels; and when they were still being taken, students with the top 3 ‘AS’ grades. We are very proud of everything that our students achieve.
GCSE
After the pandemic, our students were back in the exam hall to sit their public exams. The students coped really well considering the disruption they have had to their education over the last couple of years. As always, we are super proud of all of our students.
‘A’ Level
Our ‘A’ Level students performed very well and many secured places at top universities.
GCSE
East Barnet School has had another great year of exam results with some exceptional subject and individual performances. Over 25% of the grades awarded were equivalent to A or A* and our top 25 students achieved higher than the equivalent of eight A grades.
‘A’ Level
Our ‘A’ Level students performed very well and many secured places at top universities. The top 17 students achieved of three A grades or above.
‘AS’ Level
There are fewer subjects entering students for AS Levels at the end of Year 12, but the following students were the top achievers (A* is not awarded at ‘AS’ Level).
We are very proud of all the achievements of our students, throughout their time at East Barnet School. To help students decide on the best path for them, we also have a well established Careers service within the school for guidance.
Equipping our students for the future is really important at East Barnet School. Along with the great opportunities we offer, we also help students to achieve qualifications that enable them to move forward into either further education or training.
The data reported on this page is the most recent data that we can present. The reporting period is quite lengthy and then the figures have to be matched and checked against several different sources of information to ensure they are accurate. We will continuously update this page with new data, as and when it is available.
Due to the impact of Covid-19, the latest data available for Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 destinations through the DfE is 2017. We have used our own data to provide the most up-to-date information that we have.
Students who completed Key Stage 4 in 2021
Of the 97% of students that stayed in education, please see the table below for a more detailed breakdown:
Students who completed Key Stage 4 in 2021
In addition, 1% of our students went on to take up an apprenticeship and 0% of our students were in employment.
Students who completed Key Stage 5 in 2021
