GCSE Chemistry Tutor Bromley: 2026 Grades by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE Chemistry tutors in Bromley are expert one-to-one online teachers who start from the pupil's own school, because DfE's provisional summer 2026 figures record 882 separate GCSE (9-1) Chemistry entries at the 14 Bromley schools with 30 or more, with 87.1% of entries at grade 4 or above at Kemnal Technology College (31 entries) and 100% at six other schools.

Bromley means the London borough, DfE's local authority 305. The rows count entries in the separate GCSE Chemistry only: pupils taking Combined Science sit a different qualification and are not in them.

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

DfE publishes two counts for every school: the entries made in a subject, and the number of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, which is the school's Year 11 cohort. Set side by side they show how many of a school's pupils are in the Chemistry rows at all. Across the 14 schools read here there are 882 entries against a combined cohort of 2,820 pupils, or 31.3 entries per 100 pupils. An entry is not a pupil, and the cohort count is DfE's own.

The entries per 100 pupils are our own division of DfE's two counts. At twelve of the schools they run from 16.1 to 33.9. At Newstead Wood School there are 167 entries against a cohort of 168, and at St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School 128 entries against 128. In the first group the Chemistry rows are equivalent in size to between about one in six and one in three of the cohort; in the second they are equivalent to close to the whole year group.

What grades did each school's Chemistry entries reach in summer 2026?

The table gives DfE's grade counts for grades 4 to 9 as published, with grades 1 to 3 added together because they are small. U (ungraded) and X (absent or results pending) are DfE's definitions; the columns for each row add up to the school's entries.

Every school's grades 1 to 9 plus U and X reconcile to the total DfE publishes for it, so a blank cell in DfE's file is a count of zero, not a missing figure. DfE labels the data provisional.

What share of each school's Chemistry entries reached grade 4 and grade 7?

The shares below are our own derivations from DfE's counts: entries at grade 4 or above, and at grade 7 or above, divided by the school's entries. Across all 14 schools 866 of 882 entries reached grade 4 or above (98.2%) and 527 reached grade 7 or above (59.8%).

Six schools have every entry at grade 4 or above, apart from the one X entry at Newstead Wood School, which has 166 of 167. The six at 100% are Bullers Wood School for Boys (37 entries), Langley Park School for Girls (45 entries), Orion Coopers (36 entries), Ravens Wood School (50 entries), St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School (128 entries) and The Ravensbourne School (32 entries). The lowest share at grade 4 or above is 87.1% at Kemnal Technology College, which is 27 of 31 entries.

Why does a Bromley range of 87.1% to 100% need each school's cohort beside it?

A range from 87.1% to 100% describes schools whose Chemistry entries cover very different parts of their year groups. GIAS, the DfE register of schools, lists the admissions policy of Newstead Wood School and St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School as Selective, and the other twelve schools read here as Non-selective. In the GIAS file read on 2 November 2026, St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School is a boys' school and Newstead Wood School a girls' school.

Those two schools have 167 and 128 entries against cohorts of 168 and 128, and 80.2% and 96.1% of their entries are at grade 7 or above. At the twelve Non-selective schools, grade 7 or above runs from 12.9% (Kemnal Technology College) to 60.3% (Darrick Wood School), on between 31 and 78 entries a school.

Four of the six schools at 100% are Non-selective in GIAS: Bullers Wood School for Boys (37 entries, cohort 180), Langley Park School for Girls (45 entries, cohort 237), Orion Coopers (36 entries, cohort 223), Ravens Wood School (50 entries, cohort 222) and The Ravensbourne School (32 entries, cohort 197). Their entries cover between 16.1 and 22.5 per 100 pupils. A share is a share of the pupils who were entered, and the cohort column shows how many that is.

DfE's table names The Ravensbourne School under that name; the GIAS file lists the same URN, 136540, as Orion Ravensbourne. This page uses DfE's name.

How many grade 9s did Bromley's schools record in Chemistry?

The 14 schools together recorded 222 entries at grade 9, from 882 entries (25.2%, our own division). St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School accounts for 87 of them and Newstead Wood School for 62. Four other schools each recorded 11: Darrick Wood School, Harris Girls Academy Bromley, Hayes School and Langley Park School for Girls, on 78, 60, 63 and 45 entries respectively.

At Bishop Justus CofE School, Bullers Wood School for Boys, Kemnal Technology College, Langley Park School for Boys, Orion Coopers and The Ravensbourne School the grade 9 count is 1 and 3, between 1 and 3 entries a school. The count is of entries, and it carries no information about how far a pupil at that school moved from a Key Stage 2 starting point: no such progress measure exists for these pupils.

School by school: the Chemistry counts at each of the 14

How does one-to-one online GCSE Chemistry tuition work from a Bromley school's counts?

A tutor works from the pupil's own mock marks, not from a school average, and the counts show the range a Chemistry tutor can meet in a Bromley classroom. At Kemnal Technology College, 23 of 31 entries are at grades 3 to 5. At Langley Park School for Boys, 26 of 38 are at grades 4 to 6. At Darrick Wood School, 47 of 78 are at grade 7 or above, and at St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School, 115 of 128 are at grade 8 or 9.

Sessions are one-to-one online with a shared whiteboard. A 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.

Our tutors confirm which exam board and paper a pupil is sitting before the first session. The GCSE chemistry tuition page covers the subject in general, and the board pages cover AQA GCSE chemistry, Edexcel GCSE chemistry and OCR GCSE chemistry. Our chemistry tutoring service gives the wider picture. 91% of Leading Tuition students achieve their desired grades.

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.

Which Bromley schools are read here, and which are left out?

DfE's GCSE (9-1) full-course table for Chemistry lists 23 Bromley schools, with 1,050 entries between them. This page reads the 14 with 30 or more entries, which hold 882 of those entries, and does not read the other 9, which have between 1 and 29 entries each. A school missing from the table may enter its pupils for a different qualification, and the table does not say which. DfE's notes say individual grade breakdowns are suppressed where a school has 5 or fewer entries in a subject; The Tutorial Foundation has 1 entry in the Bromley table, so no grade breakdown is shown for it.

The rows are DfE's "Subject school level exam data", dataset version 2.0, for the 2025/26 academic year, filtered to the qualification GCSE (9-1) Full Course and the subject Chemistry. Combined Science (Double Award) is a different qualification and is not in them, so a school's Chemistry entries say nothing about how many of its pupils sat science in another form.

What can these results not tell a Bromley family?

DfE labels the release provisional. It was published on 15 October 2026. The DfE Key Stage 4 performance release carries the full notes.

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, and the shares on this page are shares of entries, not of pupils.

The year group is the other limit. Orion Coopers, at 16.1 entries per 100 pupils, and Harris Girls Academy Bromley, at 33.9, are each described by one row, and the grades say nothing about the pupils who did not sit the separate GCSE.

For families comparing subjects, our GCSE maths tutors in Bromley and GCSE English tutors in Bromley pages cover the other two core GCSEs, and our Bromley tuition hub gives the wider picture. Pupils continuing to sixth form can look at A-level Chemistry tutors in Bromley.
