Student Outcomes 2025
Whilst national reports highlight a drop in the number of passes, results have risen at John Mason. We’ve seen an increase in the number of passes, a higher average grade, and a greater proportion of students achieving Grade 9s, 8s and 7s. We are thrilled to see so many students earning the opportunity to continue their studies at JMF6 or other local providers. Their success is a testament to the support of our dedicated staff and to their families.
