GCSE Chemistry Tutor Barnet: School Grade Counts 2026

Leading Tuition's GCSE Chemistry tutors in Barnet are expert one-to-one online teachers who work from each pupil's own school, because DfE's provisional summer 2026 data counts 1,277 separate GCSE (9-1) Chemistry entries at the 21 Barnet schools with 30 or more entries, and a school's entries run from 32 to 172 against cohorts of 104 to 258 pupils.

Barnet means the London borough, DfE's local authority 302. DfE's table lists 34 Barnet schools with entries in the separate GCSE (9-1) Chemistry qualification, 1,447 entries in all; this page reads the 21 schools with 30 or more entries, which hold 1,277 of them, and sets each school's entries beside the pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 in its cohort.

How many pupils at each Barnet school sit Chemistry as a separate GCSE?

Each row below is one school's GCSE (9-1) Chemistry entries in summer 2026 beside the number of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 in the same school, both counts from DfE's school-level table. The last column divides one by the other: entries per 100 pupils is our own ratio of two DfE counts, not a DfE figure, and not a measure of take-up.

The Henrietta Barnett School has 104 Chemistry entries against 104 pupils, and Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet has 172 against 192. St Michael's Catholic Grammar School has 56 against 127, Clarion 48 against 120, and Saracens High School 32 against 169. Across the 21 schools the 1,277 entries sit beside 3,864 pupils.

These rows count entries in the single-subject GCSE (9-1) Chemistry qualification, DfE's full-course qualification code AHDJG. Pupils who sit Combined Science are entered for a different qualification, so their entries are not in the table. A tutor reading a school's row therefore learns how many of that school's pupils sit the separate Chemistry papers, and nothing about the rest of the year group's science.

What grades did Barnet's separate Chemistry entries earn in summer 2026?

Table 2 gives DfE's grade counts for each school. Grades 1 to 3 are added together because every school has 3 or fewer entries there; U and X, DfE's own grade codes, are added in the last column. Each row sums to the school's entries.

The 21 schools together hold 1,259 entries at grade 4 or above, 955 at grade 7 or above and 522 at grade 9. Those are our own sums of DfE's grade counts, which makes 98.6% of the 1,277 entries at grade 4+, 74.8% at grade 7+ and 40.9% at grade 9. Table 3 gives the same sums school by school, each beside the school's entries.

Grade 9 counts run from 1 of 48 entries at Clarion and 2 of 32 at Saracens High School to 26 of 67 at Mill Hill County High School, 86 of 104 at The Henrietta Barnett School and 162 of 172 at Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet. Grade 7+ counts run from 7 of 48 at Clarion to 172 of 172 at Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet.

Which Barnet schools had every Chemistry entry at grade 4 or above?

At twelve of the 21 schools, the grade 4+ count equals the school's entries: Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet, The Henrietta Barnett School, Ashmole Academy, Mill Hill Schools, Wren Academy Finchley, St Michael's Catholic Grammar School, The Compton School, St James' Catholic High School, The Archer Academy, Ark Pioneer Academy, London Academy and St Mary's and St John's CofE School.

At the other nine, some entries sit below grade 4: Mill Hill County High School (1 of 67 entries below grade 4), JCoSS (3 of 60 entries below grade 4), Queen Elizabeth's Girls' School (1 of 60 entries below grade 4), Finchley Catholic High School (1 of 57 entries below grade 4), Christ's College Finchley (1 of 56 entries below grade 4), Clarion (5 of 48 entries below grade 4), East Barnet School (3 of 43 entries below grade 4), The Totteridge Academy (1 of 35 entries below grade 4) and Saracens High School (2 of 32 entries below grade 4). Grade 4+ shares across the 21 schools therefore run from 89.6% at Clarion to 100% at the twelve schools above.

A single Barnet range pools different kinds of school. The Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register, read on 2 November 2026, gives the admissions policy 'Selective' for Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet, The Henrietta Barnett School and St Michael's Catholic Grammar School, and the establishment type 'Other independent school' for Mill Hill Schools.

What does a one-to-one online Chemistry tutor do with a school's row?

Sessions are one-to-one online with a shared whiteboard. A Chemistry programme begins with a short diagnostic against the pupil's own school and exam board, then works through that pupil's past papers and marks them against the real mark scheme. Progress is reviewed against the pupil's own target grade at agreed intervals, and session notes go to parents after each lesson.

The school's row supplies the first questions. A pupil at Ark Pioneer Academy sits with a cohort of 174 pupils of whom 40 are entered for separate Chemistry; a pupil at Ashmole Academy sits with 89 entries beside a cohort of 258; a pupil at Queen Elizabeth's Girls' School sits with 60 beside 184. The tutor asks which specification the school has entered the pupil for, how the latest mock paper marked out, and which topics lost the marks, then builds the programme from those answers rather than from the school's totals.

GCSE Chemistry is offered by AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR; the GCSE Chemistry tuition page covers the boards, and our Chemistry tutoring service gives the wider picture. For the same borough, our GCSE maths tutors in Barnet and GCSE English tutors in Barnet pages read DfE's summer 2026 grades for those subjects, and GCSE tuition in Barnet covers the borough across subjects. Pupils who carry Chemistry into the sixth form can continue with A-level Chemistry tutors in Barnet, and Leading Tuition's Barnet tutoring hub lists every Barnet page. 91% of Leading Tuition students achieve their desired grades.

What can these Barnet Chemistry counts not tell a family?

DfE labels the release provisional: its Key stage 4 performance release for 2025/26 says approved result amendments that schools requested have not been applied. The Chemistry table is DfE dataset version 2.0, published on 15 October 2026, and this page read it on 2 November 2026.

No Progress 8 exists for these pupils: DfE will not publish progress measures for 2024/25 or 2025/26 because the pupils had no Key Stage 2 assessments. Nothing here measures how much a school added to a pupil's grade.

The 13 Barnet schools with fewer than 30 Chemistry entries in DfE's table are not read here; their entries total 170 of the 1,447. The grade 4+, grade 7+ and grade 9 counts and the entries-per-100-pupils ratio are our own derivations from DfE's rows, and each school's row says how many of its entries and pupils the counts rest on.

Confidence and progress

My son was low in confidence after COVID and the gaps in learning were building up. Using this service helped plug those gaps, rebuild confidence, and improve his ability to learn properly again.

Amazing tutors!

We arranged maths and English tuition ahead of GCSEs and both tutors were brilliant. My daughter's grades improved, and by results day she achieved two grades higher than in her mock exams.

Great Teaching and Focused Learning

I attended an English bootcamp with Leading Tuition and the experience was excellent. The teacher gave focused attention to the small group while keeping the lessons interactive and engaging.
