Bournemouth Collegiate School

Congratulations to all 💫

An incredible morning at BCS as our Year 11 pupils collected their GCSE results!

Emotions ran high as achievements were celebrated:

📈 Significant improvement in our overall pass rate compared to 2025
📚 97% pass rate (grades 9–4) in English – well above the national average of around 70%
➕ 97% pass rate (grades 9–4) in Mathematics
🌟 100% of pupils achieved grades 9–4 across 11 GCSE subjects
💫 Many pupils exceeded their expected grades, supported by our additional clinics and intervention programmes

We are so proud of this year's GCSE cohort – your hard work and determination have truly paid off. 💙 We can't wait to welcome many of you back to BCS Sixth Form as you begin the next exciting stage of your journey.

⭐ Best of luck to all our pupils collecting their GCSE results tomorrow!

We are incredibly proud of the hard work, determination and commitment you have shown throughout your GCSE journey. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and see what comes next 💙

Congratulations to Heidi on a wonderful set of A Level results! A*s in Photography and Textiles, alongside As in Art and Chinese - a creative portfolio of grades that speaks to real talent, discipline and imagination 📚✨

Heidi's achievement is all the more remarkable given where her BCS story began. She joined us in Year 10 with limited English, and the progress she has made since - academically, creatively and personally - has been a joy to watch.

She now takes her next step at University of the Arts London, where she'll be studying Illustration 🎓 There could hardly be a better place for her to develop her voice, and we're excited to see the work she goes on to make.

All of us at BCS are so proud of everything Heidi has achieved during her time here, and we look forward to following her creative journey 💙

Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver Expedition 🥾

Back in June, our Year 9 and 10 pupils successfully completed their Bronze or Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition!

Throughout the expedition, pupils demonstrated fantastic resilience, teamwork and determination, putting their navigation and expedition skills into practice and supporting one another along the way.

A brilliant achievement and plenty of memories made – well done to everyone who completed their Silver expedition 💙

A huge well done to Monty on a brilliant set of A Level results! A*s in Mathematics and Biology, an A in Chemistry and an A in his EPQ - the reward for a lot of hard work and genuine determination 📚✨

Monty now heads to Queen's University Belfast to begin studying Medicine 🎓 It's a path that asks a great deal of those who take it, and he has every quality needed to thrive.

Everyone at BCS is enormously proud of all Monty has achieved here, and we can't wait to see where this next chapter takes him 💙

Huge congratulations to Daria, who has achieved a remarkable set of A Level results this year! She received four A*s in Psychology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Russian - an exceptional achievement which reflects her dedication, resilience and commitment 📚✨

Now, Daria is set to take the next exciting step in her journey, heading to The University of New South Wales in Sydney to study Psychology 🎓 We have no doubt she will continue to excel and make her mark in this fascinating field.

We are so proud of everything Daria has accomplished during her time at BCS and look forward to following her future successes 💙

Our pupils have truly shone this year – improving on last year's outcomes with increases in both A*-A and A*-B grades, including a 7% rise in A* grades and more than one-third of all grades awarded at A* or A ⭐

Exceptional subject performances include:

100% of grades at A*-A in Performing Arts
100% of grades at A*-A in French
75% of grades at A*-B in Economics
100% of grades at A*-C in Psychology
100% of grades at A*-C in History

There was also 100% pass success across all language subjects, Photography and the Extended Project Qualification – a reflection of the dedication of pupils and staff alike.

Our pupils are now moving on to prestigious universities and colleges such as Queen's University Belfast, King's College London, University of the Arts London and the University of Melbourne, with a notable increase in pupils pursuing science-related pathways including Medicine, Physiotherapy and Psychology 🎓

A Level Results Day 2026 – What a Triumph! 🎉

The excitement, the nerves, the joy – our Year 13 pupils experienced it all today as they opened their long-awaited results.

We are thrilled to share that this year's cohort has improved on last year's outcomes across the board, with a 7% increase in A* grades and more than one-third of all grades awarded at A* or A. Performing Arts, French, Russian and Music Technology achieved 100% A*-A, with 100% pass success in all languages, Photography and the EPQ.

Congratulations to Monty (A*A*AA), heading to Queen's University Belfast to study Medicine; Daria (A*A*A*A*), off to study Psychology at King's College London or Melbourne; and Heidi (A*A*AA), progressing to University of the Arts London to read Illustration 🌟

And beyond the classroom – Louisa balanced AA grades with representing Dorset Women's Cricket, while Theo took gold at a national championship this summer.

These results are more than numbers – they reflect the determination, resilience, and ambition that define the BCS community. We couldn't be prouder of the Class of 2026 as they take their next steps into higher education, apprenticeships, and beyond 💙

✨ Congratulations to all – you have truly achieved the extraordinary.

A Level Results Day Tomorrow ⭐

Tomorrow is a big day for our Year 13 pupils as they receive their A Level results!

We are incredibly proud of the hard work, determination and commitment you have shown throughout your time at BCS. Whatever tomorrow brings, we hope you take a moment to recognise everything you have achieved along the way 💙

Good luck, Class of 2026! 🍀
