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:

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.
