GCSE Biology Tutor Wimbledon: 2026 Grade Counts by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE Biology tutors in Wimbledon are expert one-to-one online teachers who start from the child's own school, because DfE's provisional summer 2026 file lists eight SW19 and SW20 schools with a separate GCSE (9-1) Biology row, recording 520 entries beside 1,374 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4.

Wimbledon sits inside the London Borough of Merton, DfE's local authority 315, so the eight rows below are cut out of the Merton table by postcode and every count is DfE's own.

Which Wimbledon schools are in DfE's GCSE Biology table?

DfE publishes Key Stage 4 results school by school, not town by town, and Wimbledon is not a local authority of its own. This page counts a school as Wimbledon's when its Get Information about Schools (GIAS) postcode begins SW19 or SW20 and its URN appears in DfE's 2025/26 subject file. The register extract of 1 November 2026 gives nine such schools, every one of them in Merton and in the Wimbledon parliamentary constituency: Hall School Wimbledon, Ricards Lodge High School, Raynes Park High School, Rutlish School, Wimbledon College, King's College School, Wimbledon High School GDST, Harris Academy Wimbledon and Ursuline High School Wimbledon.

Eight of the nine have a row for GCSE (9-1) Full Course Biology. King's College School is in DfE's file with 158 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 and rows for other subjects, and has no Biology row, so it appears in no table on this page. Blossom House School has a Wimbledon constituency label in GIAS but a KT3 postcode, and DfE gives its single Biology entry no grade breakdown, so the postcode rule leaves it out and this page publishes no grade for it.

The rows count the separate GCSE in Biology only. A pupil who takes Combined Science (Double Award) sits a different qualification and is not in these rows, so a school's Biology entries are never the size of its year group. DfE sets the school's pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 beside them, and the table below does the same.

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

The last two columns of the table are DfE's count of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 and its total of GCSE (9-1) Biology entries. The sex and admissions policy columns are GIAS fields exactly as recorded on 1 November 2026, and they are shown for identification only.

The Biology rows run from 10 entries to 149. Ricards Lodge High School has the most, 149 entries beside 235 pupils, and Ursuline High School Wimbledon follows with 90 beside 212; between them those two hold 239 of the 520 entries. Wimbledon High School GDST has 85 entries beside a cohort of 103, the largest entry count relative to cohort in the table.

Rutlish School has 59 entries beside 229 pupils, Wimbledon College 57 beside 196 and Harris Academy Wimbledon 52 beside 167. Raynes Park High School has 18 entries beside 202 pupils, and Hall School Wimbledon 10 beside 30. Those two counts are small, and the tables that follow set each beside its cohort and draw no conclusion from the size.

What grades did Wimbledon's Biology entries earn in summer 2026?

Grades 1 and 2, U and X are blank in every one of the eight rows. Each row adds up from grades 1 to 9, U and X to DfE's own total of entries, so the blanks are true zeros. The first table gives the count at each grade from 3 upwards.

Grade 6 is the most common grade across the eight rows, with 122 of the 520 entries, followed by grade 7 with 109, grade 9 with 103 and grade 8 with 101. Grade 5 has 56 entries, grade 4 has 21 and grade 3 has 8. Of the eight grade 3 entries, six are at Ricards Lodge High School and one each at Raynes Park High School and Hall School Wimbledon.

The second table adds the rows up for grade 4 or above, grade 7 or above and grade 9. Each is our own sum of DfE's grade rows, not DfE's published percentages, and they are counts, not shares.

Across the eight schools, 512 of the 520 entries are at grade 4 or above and 313 are at grade 7 or above. Five of the eight rows have no entry below grade 4: Ursuline High School Wimbledon, Wimbledon High School GDST, Rutlish School, Wimbledon College and Harris Academy Wimbledon. The other three rows hold the eight entries at grade 3.

Wimbledon High School GDST has 46 grade 9 entries from 85, the largest grade 9 count of the eight, and 75 entries at grade 7 or above. Ricards Lodge High School has 13 grade 9 entries from 149, and Harris Academy Wimbledon has 15 from 52. Rutlish School and Ursuline High School Wimbledon each have 11 grade 9 entries.

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.

What does each school's Biology row show?

The paragraphs below read each row on its own, in the order of the tables, with the cohort beside the entries. They describe counts and nothing else: a row does not say how a school teaches Biology, who enters it, or how any one pupil will do.

Ricards Lodge High School (GIAS: SW19 7HB, girls, non-selective) has 149 Biology entries beside 235 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4. Its grades run from 6 entries at grade 3 to 13 at grade 9, with 17 at grade 4, 30 at grade 5, 43 at grade 6, 27 at grade 7 and 13 at grade 8. Of the 149 entries, 143 are at grade 4 or above and 53 at grade 7 or above.

Ursuline High School Wimbledon (SW20 8HA, girls, non-selective) has 90 entries beside 212 pupils: 10 at grade 5, 22 at grade 6, 22 at grade 7, 25 at grade 8 and 11 at grade 9. That is 58 entries at grade 7 or above from 90.

Wimbledon High School GDST (SW19 4AB, girls, selective in GIAS's admissions policy field) has 85 entries beside 103 pupils. Its grade counts are 2 at grade 5, 8 at grade 6, 10 at grade 7, 19 at grade 8 and 46 at grade 9, so 75 of the 85 entries are at grade 7 or above. GIAS records an age range of 4 to 19 for the school.

Rutlish School (SW20 9AD, boys, non-selective) has 59 entries beside 229 pupils: 16 at grade 6, 18 at grade 7, 14 at grade 8 and 11 at grade 9, with 43 at grade 7 or above. Wimbledon College (SW19 4NS, boys, non-selective) has 57 beside 196: 1 at grade 4, 9 at grade 5, 11 at grade 6, 14 at grade 7, 16 at grade 8 and 6 at grade 9, so 36 at grade 7 or above.

Harris Academy Wimbledon (SW19 2JY, mixed, non-selective) has 52 entries beside 167 pupils: 1 at grade 4, 15 at grade 6, 9 at grade 7, 12 at grade 8 and 15 at grade 9, with 36 at grade 7 or above and no entry at grade 5. Raynes Park High School (SW20 0JL, mixed, non-selective) has 18 entries beside 202 pupils: 1 at grade 3, 2 at grade 4, 3 at grade 5, 4 at grade 6, 5 at grade 7, 2 at grade 8 and 1 at grade 9.

Hall School Wimbledon (SW20 8HF, mixed, non-selective) has 10 entries beside a cohort of 30: 1 at grade 3, 2 at grade 5, 3 at grade 6 and 4 at grade 7. With a row this size, one entry moves any share by 10 points, which is why this page prints counts.

How does a tutor use a Wimbledon school's Biology row?

The row tells a tutor which grades a pupil's own school recorded in summer 2026 and how many of its pupils sat the separate GCSE. It does not tell the tutor the child's own grade, the exam board or the topics that are costing marks, and a programme is built from those. 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.

Leading Tuition reports that 91% of its students achieve their desired grades. Our GCSE Biology tuition page covers the subject itself, and our biology tutoring service covers every level from GCSE to A-level. For revision method rather than tuition, the guide to revising GCSE Biology in 2026 sets out the approach.

What is provisional or not comparable in these figures?

DfE published its Key Stage 4 release on 15 October 2026 and last updated it on 28 October 2026, and labels the data provisional: approved result amendments that schools requested have not been applied when the figures were aggregated. This page reads dataset version 2.0, retrieved on 2 November 2026, and every count here can differ in a later version.

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.

DfE counts pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, while results-day figures from the Joint Council for Qualifications count exam entries for 16-year-olds, so a school's counts here need not equal a number quoted on results day. The Wimbledon schools are also read on the same cut as our GCSE Maths tutors in Wimbledon page, which counts the same nine SW19 and SW20 schools, and our GCSE English tutors in Wimbledon and A-level Biology tutors in Wimbledon pages cover the other subjects and the next stage. The sources are DfE's Key Stage 4 performance release for 2025/26 and the Get Information about Schools register.
