Examination Results
Christ's Hospital's focus on traditional academic subjects underpinned outstanding examination results in 2009.
At GCSE, pupils recorded the School's best ever results with 95% of all entries at A*, A or B grade and 80% of entries at A* or A grade. The Times placed Christ's Hospital 12th in its national rank of GCSE examination results for Independent Co-educational Schools.
A Level results were also excellent with an overall pass rate of 100%. 33 candidates (a quarter of the group) achieved three or more A grades.

GCSE Government Achievement and Attainment Tables
The fact that the Government does not officially accredit the IGCSE (International GCSE) qualification in either Mathematics or English (despite awarding it official status in other subjects) severely distorts the CH results in the West Sussex schools’ league table performance for 2009. All Christ’s Hospital pupils take IGCSE Mathematics, which automatically excludes them from any system counting, only A*-C passes in “standard” GCSE, since these measures usually insist on including Mathematics and English.
