GCSE results are out and One Degree has news on how we did!

GCSE cohort – 93 x GCSE pupils participated in the One Degree Programme in 2023. Data for an additional 201 pupils was provided as a ‘control group’ sample consisting of pupils who were from the same schools but did not take part in the programme.

GCSE student categories – Of the 93 pupils who had the availability of the One Degree mentoring platform in 2024, 22 (24%) made most use of 1-on-1 mentoring and fully graduated from the programme. The remaining groups included a further 27 students in group A (priority students), 14 students in group B (secondary in-need students) and 30 students in group C (tertiary in-need students).

Grade achievements – 66% of the total One Degree students passed English Literature, 70% passed English Language and 67% passed Maths. When looking at the graduating students, this was 64% for combined Literature and Language and 68% for Maths.

Core group grade achievements – Looking more closely at the students who were most active (i.e., used One Degree to its full benefit), it paints an improved picture: Language and Literature grades increased to 64% (from 31%), and Maths increased to 68% (from 58%).

Pass rate vs national – The pass rate for pupils participating in and those graduating from the programme achieved a 1% less than the national average in English Literature and Maths.

Mocks vs results – The average change between pupils’ mock grades and their final summer exams was considerably higher – 31% to 66%.

Online attendance – 4320 x on-demand minutes we logged by the students, 2790 x 1-on-1 mentoring minutes, and 3300 x live lesson minutes.

Self-esteem improvements – 75% of respondents recorded an increase in self-esteem levels post programme.

Post programme perception of One Degree – 100% respondents said that they enjoyed participating in the programme. Similar proportions agreed that they felt more confident (100%) and more positive about their future (100%).
