Having received positive results across the board, there were many standout subjects and individual successes. In addition to high overall pass rates, highlights included:

-
In specific subjects, students performed exceptionally well, achieving 100% A*-C grades in Art, Textiles, Geography, and Portuguese, alongside very strong results in other areas such as Biology, Chemistry, History, and Psychology. These outcomes demonstrate the high level of skill, dedication, and resilience of our students across both academic and vocational pathways.

"I dedicated considerable effort to my examinations and was pleased to achieve these results. My advice to future students is to approach their studies with focus and determination. I am grateful to all my teachers and family for their support, with particular thanks to the pastoral team. One of my most memorable experiences at La Retraite 6 was participating in the teacher versus student football matches."
La Retraite 6 is founded on an offer that equips every student with the practical experiences, knowledge, and attributes to succeed and embark on their chosen future pathway. This September, La Retraite 6 has expanded its curriculum to include a T Level Nursing pathway, complementing its existing Midwifery pathway.
"We are delighted to recognise the incredible accomplishments of our Class of 2025, who have achieved another outstanding set of KS5 results and upheld La Retraite’s strong legacy of success. Their ambition, perseverance, and hard work have opened doors to exceptional opportunities - including places at universities such as Cambridge and Imperial - and left a lasting impression on the whole La Retraite community.
Beyond their academic success, they have grown into kind, thoughtful, and driven individuals who have made a lasting impact on our school. Everyone at LR6 is incredibly proud of them and excited to see all they will go on to achieve. We know they will continue to make us proud!"
– Matt Dutton, Director of La Retraite 6
