GCSE Chemistry Tutor Wimbledon: 2026 Grade Counts by School

Leading Tuition's GCSE Chemistry 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) Chemistry row, recording 513 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 have a separate GCSE Chemistry row in DfE's 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, it is open, and its URN has a row in DfE's 2025/26 file. The register extract of 3 November 2026 was read for this, and the cut is the one used on our GCSE Maths tutors in Wimbledon page.

DfE's GCSE (9-1) Full Course Chemistry table lists eight schools with those postcodes: Ricards Lodge High School, Ursuline High School Wimbledon, Wimbledon High School GDST, Rutlish School, Wimbledon College, Harris Academy Wimbledon, Raynes Park High School and Hall School Wimbledon. King's College School has an SW19 4TT postcode in GIAS and no row in that table, so it appears in no table on this page.

Four more Merton schools have Chemistry rows but sit outside the SW19 and SW20 line, so this page gives no grade or share for them: Harris Academy Merton (45 entries), Harris Academy Morden (48), Jus'T'Learn (20) and St Mark's Church of England Academy (23).

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

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

The last two columns are DfE's count of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 and its total of GCSE (9-1) Chemistry entries. The final column divides one by the other and is our own ratio, not a DfE figure. The sex and admissions policy columns are GIAS fields exactly as recorded on 3 November 2026, shown for identification only.

The Chemistry rows run from 10 entries at Hall School Wimbledon to 148 at Ricards Lodge High School. Across the eight schools there are 513 entries beside 1,374 pupils, which is 37.3 entries for every 100 pupils. The school ratios run from 8.9 at Raynes Park High School to 76.7 at Wimbledon High School GDST; both are counts set beside a cohort, and neither says anything about how a school teaches the subject.

Ricards Lodge High School has 148 entries beside 235 pupils and Ursuline High School Wimbledon 90 beside 212. Wimbledon High School GDST has 79 beside a cohort of 103, Rutlish School 59 beside 229, Wimbledon College 57 beside 196 and Harris Academy Wimbledon 52 beside 167. Raynes Park High School has 18 beside 202 and Hall School Wimbledon 10 beside 30.

What grades did Wimbledon's 513 Chemistry entries earn in summer 2026?

Grade 1 is blank in all eight rows, and X is blank too. 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, with U for ungraded.

Grade 8 is the grade with the highest count across the eight rows, 126 of the 513 entries, followed by grade 6 with 103, grade 9 with 102 and grade 7 with 88. Grade 5 has 56 entries, grade 4 has 26, grade 3 has 8 and grade 2 has 1. Three entries are U. The single grade 2 entry and seven of the eight grade 3 entries are at Ricards Lodge High School, and the eighth grade 3 entry is at Raynes Park High School.

The second table adds the rows up for grade 4 or above, grade 7 or above and grade 9, and counts the entries below grade 4 or ungraded (grades 1 to 3 plus U). Each of these is our own sum of DfE's grade rows, not a DfE percentage, and each is a count rather than a share.

Across the eight schools, 501 of the 513 entries are at grade 4 or above and 316 are at grade 7 or above, and 102 entries are at grade 9. Six of the eight rows have every entry at grade 4 or above: Ursuline High School Wimbledon, Wimbledon High School GDST, Rutlish School, Wimbledon College, Harris Academy Wimbledon and Hall School Wimbledon. The other 12 entries sit in two rows. Ricards Lodge High School has 11 entries below grade 4 or ungraded, made up of 8 at grades 1 to 3 and 3 at U, and Raynes Park High School has 1, at grade 3.

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.

Two rows read side by side: Ricards Lodge High School and Wimbledon High School GDST

Two of the eight rows are read here against each other, because their entries and cohorts have different sizes and their grades fall in different places. This is counts only. A row does not say how a school teaches Chemistry or which pupils it enters.

Ricards Lodge High School (GIAS: SW19 7HB, girls, non-selective) has 148 Chemistry entries beside 235 pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, or 63.0 entries per 100 pupils. Its entries are 1 at grade 2, 7 at grade 3, 17 at grade 4, 31 at grade 5, 44 at grade 6, 16 at grade 7, 21 at grade 8, 8 at grade 9 and 3 at U. That is 92 entries at grades 4 to 6, 45 at grade 7 or above and 11 below grade 4 or ungraded.

Wimbledon High School GDST (GIAS: SW19 4AB, girls, Selective in the admissions policy field) has 79 Chemistry entries beside 103 pupils, or 76.7 entries per 100 pupils. Its entries are 2 at grade 5, 4 at grade 6, 6 at grade 7, 24 at grade 8 and 43 at grade 9. That is 6 entries at grades 4 to 6, 73 at grade 7 or above and no entry below grade 5. GIAS records the school's age range as 4 to 19.

Set beside each other, the two rows hold 8 and 43 grade 9 entries, from 148 and 79 entries. The grade 4 to 6 band holds 92 of Ricards Lodge's 148 entries and 6 of Wimbledon High School GDST's 79. For a tutor, the useful reading is narrow: the two groups sit at different points in the grade range, so a programme for a pupil at either school begins from that pupil's own mock paper and exam board, and the school's row only sets out how many of its pupils sit the separate GCSE.

What do the other six Chemistry rows record?

Each paragraph reads one row with the cohort beside the entries, in the order of the tables. They describe counts and nothing else.

Ursuline High School Wimbledon (GIAS: SW20 8HA, girls, non-selective) has 90 Chemistry entries beside 212 pupils: 6 at grade 4, 14 at grade 5, 18 at grade 6, 13 at grade 7, 26 at grade 8 and 13 at grade 9. That is 52 entries at grade 7 or above and 13 at grade 9. Of the 185 entries at grades 4 to 6 across the eight rows, 38 are here.

Rutlish School (GIAS: SW20 9AD, boys, non-selective) has 59 Chemistry entries beside 229 pupils: 1 at grade 5, 9 at grade 6, 19 at grade 7, 17 at grade 8 and 13 at grade 9. That is 49 entries at grade 7 or above and 13 at grade 9.

Wimbledon College (GIAS: SW19 4NS, boys, non-selective) has 57 Chemistry entries beside 196 pupils: 3 at grade 5, 12 at grade 6, 13 at grade 7, 16 at grade 8 and 13 at grade 9. That is 42 entries at grade 7 or above and 13 at grade 9.

Harris Academy Wimbledon (GIAS: SW19 2JY, mixed, non-selective) has 52 Chemistry entries beside 167 pupils: 1 at grade 5, 11 at grade 6, 11 at grade 7, 18 at grade 8 and 11 at grade 9. That is 40 entries at grade 7 or above and 11 at grade 9. Its entries per 100 pupils are 31.1.

Raynes Park High School (GIAS: SW20 0JL, mixed, non-selective) has 18 Chemistry entries beside 202 pupils: 1 at grade 3, 3 at grade 4, 2 at grade 5, 1 at grade 6, 7 at grade 7, 3 at grade 8 and 1 at grade 9. That is 11 entries at grade 7 or above and 1 at grade 9. The row is a count of 18 entries beside 202 pupils, and the page draws no conclusion from its size.

Hall School Wimbledon (GIAS: SW20 8HF, mixed, non-selective) has 10 Chemistry entries beside 30 pupils: 2 at grade 5, 4 at grade 6, 3 at grade 7 and 1 at grade 8. That is 4 entries at grade 7 or above and 0 at grade 9. With a row this size, one entry moves any share by 10 points, which is why this page prints counts.

How do our tutors teach GCSE Chemistry to a Wimbledon pupil?

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 where marks are being lost, 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 Chemistry tuition page covers the subject itself, and our chemistry tutoring service covers every level from GCSE to A-level. Pupils entered for AQA or Edexcel can see the board-specific pages for AQA GCSE Chemistry and Edexcel GCSE Chemistry, and a pupil sitting Combined Science rather than the separate GCSE can read our GCSE Combined Science tuition page.

How was the Wimbledon list drawn, and what is provisional?

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. The checking exercises for the 2025/26 cohort ran in June 2026 and Autumn 2026. This page reads dataset version 2.0 of the subject school level exam data, retrieved on 3 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.

The sums of entries, grade 4 or above, grade 7 or above and grade 9 are our own arithmetic on DfE's grade rows, and the entries-per-100-pupils column is our own division. The Wimbledon schools are read on the same cut as our GCSE Biology tutors in Wimbledon page, and our A-level Chemistry tutors in Wimbledon page covers the next stage. The sources are DfE's Key Stage 4 performance release for 2025/26 and the Get Information about Schools register.
