GCSE Biology Tutor Twickenham: 2026 Grades by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE Biology tutors in Twickenham are expert one-to-one online teachers who start from the pupil's own school, because DfE's provisional summer 2026 file records 544 separate GCSE (9-1) Biology entries at the eight Twickenham schools it lists, against 1,176 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4.

Twickenham is a town in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, DfE local authority 318, not a local authority of its own. The eight schools here are the ones in the borough table with a TW1 or TW2 postcode and a Biology row.

How many pupils at each Twickenham school sit Biology as a separate GCSE?

The rows DfE publishes for GCSE (9-1) Biology count one qualification: the separate Biology GCSE, taught alongside Chemistry and Physics. A pupil taking Combined Science (Double Award) sits a different qualification, so that pupil is not in these rows. For that reason each school's Biology entries are set beside its cohort, which DfE counts as pupils at the end of Key Stage 4. An entry is not a pupil, and the share is a count against a count, not a verdict on any school.

Source: Department for Education, Key stage 4 performance 2025/26 (provisional), subject school level exam data, dataset version 2.0 published 15 October 2026, qualification GCSE (9-1) Full Course, subject Biology. Schools are in order of Biology entries, not of grades.

The shares run from 34% at Turing House School, 55 entries against 163 pupils, to 57% at Orleans Park School, 125 against 219. At St Catherine's School the figure is 30 entries against 58 pupils, and at Kneller Hall School 32 against 65. In practice a Twickenham parent should treat the first question as which qualification the child is entered for. The pupil's school confirms that, and a tutor begins there.

What do the Biology grade counts look like school by school?

The table gives each school's grade counts as DfE publishes them, with grades 1 to 3, U and X shown separately so that every row adds up to the school's entries. Grade U is ungraded and grade X is absent or pending. The columns for grade 4 or above and grade 7 or above are our sums of DfE's grade rows.

Across the eight schools the counts add up to 135 entries at grade 9, 328 at grade 7 or above and 519 at grade 4 or above, from 544 entries. The other 25 entries are below grade 4 or ungraded: 23 at grades 1 to 3, 1 at U and 1 at X, summed from the school rows above.

Two schools hold most of the entries below grade 4. Twickenham School has 14 of them, from 61 entries, and Waldegrave School has 7, from 98. The Richmond upon Thames School has 3 and Orleans Park School has 1; the other four schools have none.

Where does each school's Biology work sit, at grades 4 to 6 or 7 to 9?

Grade counts say where a school's entries fall, and a tutor reads them as a range of starting points rather than a single one. The eight schools below are described in the order of the first table, with each school's own cohort beside its entries. Street and postcode are from the GIAS register, read on 2 November 2026.

Orleans Park School, Richmond Road, Twickenham (TW1 3BB), has the largest Biology entry in the table: 125 entries from 219 pupils. Of those entries 38 are grade 9, 92 are grade 7 or above and 32 are at grades 4 to 6, with 1 below grade 4. The tutor works from the individual pupil's own marks on the exam board's past papers, not from the school total.

Waldegrave School, Fifth Cross Road, Twickenham (TW2 5LH), has 98 Biology entries from 219 pupils, the same cohort size as Orleans Park School. It has 27 entries at grade 9, 58 at grade 7 or above and 33 at grades 4 to 6. Seven entries are below grade 4 or ungraded: 6 at grades 1 to 3 and 1 at X.

The Richmond upon Thames School, Egerton Road, Twickenham (TW2 7SL), has 81 Biology entries from 144 pupils, or 56%. Its largest band is grades 4 to 6, with 48 entries, against 30 at grade 7 or above and 9 at grade 9. Three entries are below grade 4, all at grades 1 to 3.

St Richard Reynolds Catholic High School, Clifden Road, Twickenham (TW1 4LT), has 62 Biology entries from 177 pupils, or 35%. Of these, 19 are grade 9, 46 are grade 7 or above and 16 are at grades 4 to 6. GIAS gives the town as London and the locality as Twickenham, and every one of the 62 entries is at grade 4 or above.

Twickenham School, Percy Road, Twickenham (TW2 6JW), has 61 Biology entries from 131 pupils, or 47%. It has 9 entries at grade 9, 18 at grade 7 or above and 29 at grades 4 to 6. Fourteen entries are below grade 4 or ungraded: 13 at grades 1 to 3 and 1 at U. That is the largest below-grade-4 count among the eight, set against a cohort of 131.

Turing House School, Hospital Bridge Road, Twickenham (TW2 6LH), has 55 Biology entries from 163 pupils, or 34%. Of these, 11 are grade 9, 31 are grade 7 or above and 24 are at grades 4 to 6. All 55 entries are at grade 4 or above, so the work there is spread across the 4 to 9 range.

Kneller Hall School, Pope's Villa, Cross Deep, Twickenham (TW1 4QG), has 32 Biology entries from 65 pupils, or 49%. It has 11 entries at grade 9, 30 at grade 7 or above and 2 at grades 4 to 6. With 32 entries in total, a single entry moves a grade share by about 3 percentage points, so the counts say more than the percentages.

St Catherine's School, Cross Deep, Twickenham (TW1 4QJ), has 30 Biology entries from 58 pupils, or 52%. Of these, 11 are grade 9, 23 are grade 7 or above and 7 are at grades 4 to 6. GIAS gives the town as UK and the locality as Twickenham. Every entry is at grade 4 or above, and with 30 entries one entry is 3 percentage points.

At four of the eight schools every Biology entry is at grade 4 or above: Turing House School, Kneller Hall School, St Catherine's School and St Richard Reynolds Catholic High School. GIAS records the admissions policy as Selective for Kneller Hall School and as Non-selective for Turing House School, Orleans Park School and Waldegrave School. For St Catherine's School and St Richard Reynolds Catholic High School it records Not applicable, and it states no policy for The Richmond upon Thames School or Twickenham School.

How is this Twickenham list drawn from DfE's Richmond upon Thames table?

DfE's GCSE (9-1) full-course Biology table lists 18 schools in Richmond upon Thames, local authority 318. Twickenham is not a DfE local authority, so the cut is made with the GIAS register, read on 2 November 2026 (file edubasealldata20261102). A school is read as a Twickenham school when its postcode district is TW1 or TW2 and its GIAS status is Open. Eight of the 18 meet that rule and carry a Biology row.

St Richard Reynolds Catholic High School and St Catherine's School are included by that rule. GIAS gives their postal town as London and UK, but both have Twickenham as their locality and a TW1 postcode, TW1 4LT and TW1 4QJ. The remaining ten schools in the borough table have postcodes outside TW1 and TW2 and are not read here. For another subject in the same town, see GCSE Maths tutors in Twickenham.

DfE labels the release provisional. It was published on 15 October 2026 and last updated on 28 October 2026, and approved result amendments that schools requested are not applied. Every figure on this page is provisional for that reason.

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 no figure above is an all-subject measure.

The counts also differ from the headline figures published on results day. DfE counts entries by pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, attributed to their schools, so the sums here are DfE's own and need not match any national total.

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.

How do Leading Tuition's tutors work with Twickenham's GCSE Biology pupils?

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.

The first step is to confirm whether the pupil is entered for the separate Biology GCSE or for Combined Science, because the two qualifications have different papers. Our tutors then confirm the exam board the school has entered the pupil for; the GCSE Biology tuition page covers the boards. The GCSE English tutors in Twickenham page reads English the same way. For sixth-form Biology, see our A-level Biology tutors in Twickenham, and our Biology tutoring service gives the wider picture. The Twickenham tuition hub lists every subject. 91% of Leading Tuition students achieve their desired grades.
