Exam Results Day 2025 - Press Releases

Students at Harwich and Dovercourt High School have been praised following the release of their GCSE results.

Headteacher Kate Finch said: “Once again we are extremely proud of the achievements of our young people here at HDHS. 

“They have attained some fantastic results, all allowing them to progress into their next stages which for many is A-levels on the route to university while others will start apprenticeships and other Level 3 vocational courses. 

“This year group has been so wonderful to teach and to know. They had a rocky start, having missed their year 6 SATs due to Covid, and therefore this was their first experience of a formal exam season.

“But we think they were one of the most impressive year groups we've ever had in terms of their attitude and how they approached the challenge of exams. All our staff and I wish them the very best and all that they deserve as they go forward to their new courses.”

Notable high achievers included Raymond Zheng who got 8 grade 9s, 2 grade 8s and a Distinction* - as well as full marks in the higher maths paper.

Joseph Hance  (2 grade 9s, 3 grade 8s and3 grade 7s), Amelia Higgs (1 grade 9, 1 grade 8 and a Distinction*), Amy Hammond (1 grade 8, a Distinction* and 4 grade 7s) and Leon Chadwick (1 Distinction*, 2 grade 8s and 1 grade 7) were also among the students celebrating.
