Congratulations to CGA students on their incredible Pearson Edexcel results!
Exam results can feel like the final step in a long process, but for many students at Crimson Global Academy (CGA), they’re a springboard for what comes next. The Pearson Edexcel November 2024 International results are in, and once again, students have delivered exceptional performances.
Students scored highly across the board in their International GCSE exams in November 2024. The results are a testament to students' hard work and dedication, support from our academic faculty, and the advantage of online learning with CGA.
The strong results also demonstrate the success of our innovative partnership with Pearson since 2022 to trial remote invigilation. This allows students to take Pearson Edexcel assessments from their home or a personal workspace, whilst ensuring the security and integrity of the exam.

In 2022 CGA joined a pilot programme for online exams run by Pearson. After a successful trial at the May/June 2024 IGCSE exams, remote exams are now the default method for IGCSE examination at CGA.
For AS and A2 Level exams, CGA delivered the world's first remote invigilation trial at the October/November 2024 exams. In line with GCSEs, AS and A2 exams will also be moving online from the May/June 2025 exam season.
The innovation allows students greater flexibility in terms of location and reduces the travel and organisation required in taking their exams at a physical exam test centre. It also limits students' exam stress and anxiety by being in a familiar environment, instead of a testing room.
CGA Deputy Principal Mr Ronan Kearney shared, "It was a lot of disruption for students that could also bring anxiety and ultimately affect exam results. This approach prepares students for the future because digital exams and professional certifications are moving on to a digital way of working.”
Mr Kearney also mentioned the feedback from Pearson regarding the trial, "CGA students were the best prepared and the most familiar with the system, and of course that reflects our learning mode and also the preparation of the exams team and the academic teams had done with the students beforehand."
From remote invigilation, to CGA Home’s AI features, CGA’s commitment to innovative learning technology ensures students are set-up for success.
CGA is designed for academically ambitious students who want access to high-quality education without the constraints of a traditional classroom. Courses are taught live by experienced teachers, class sizes remain small, and students can take IGCSEs, A Levels, or AP courses depending on their academic goals.
“My teacher is incredibly supportive, which motivates me to push myself with every assignment. CGA isn’t just another online school—it’s on a whole different level. I’m proud to be part of such a highly accredited program and to be doing so well here.” - CGA Student, Paul
Students at CGA are not limited by geography. Many combine their studies with competitive sports, early university preparation, or additional qualifications that wouldn’t fit within a conventional school timetable. The structure allows for greater flexibility without compromising academic standards.
“The CGA experience helps me a lot academically, and provides me with a set of skills that complements my career growth.The flexibility of the class hours and that I can study from everywhere in the world while pursuing my ballet career." - CGA Student, Naomi
With another strong exam season behind us, students are now looking ahead to A Levels, AP exams, and university applications. As more families seek alternative pathways to top universities, CGA continues to provide an education that is both challenging and flexible, setting students up for success wherever they choose to go next.
