It was lovely to welcome back our Year 11 pupils this morning to collect their GCSE results. Half of all GCSE entries (49.5%) achieved a Grade 8 or 9 (equivalent to the previous A* or higher), with 27% of entries achieving the very top Grade 9. In addition, 70% of grades were 9-7 and 77% of pupils achieved at least eight GCSEs at Grade 7 or above (equivalent to an A or higher).
Orla, who is looking forward to studying Philosophy, Chemistry and Maths at A Level, has also made a significant contribution to the wider community through her involvement with Bristol City Youth Council. She said, “It’s been a busy time with revision and my personal commitments to the Youth Council, representing young people in Bristol and helping to address issues that affect our community, my particular focus has been reducing racism and tackling inequality.”
Alex celebrated an outstanding clean sweep of 11 Grade 9’s, and while being delighted with his results he also recognised the work that went into achieving them, he said, “It has been hard work, and I knew I had to put the time in to studying, so I’m really pleased that it has paid off. Alongside my studies I have also been part of the coding team, and we competed in the British Informatics Olympiad which I really enjoyed.”
Elsa is happy with her GCSE results and is feeling confident about taking the next step into Sixth Form, where she will study History, Psychology and Art. She said, “It has been a stressful time, but the school has been supportive, especially with revision tips and techniques. I’m now feeling confident and ready for the next step.”
We are incredibly proud of every member of Year 11 and all that they have achieved. A huge congratulations to the whole cohort and to the families, friends and staff who have supported them along the way.
For those returning in September, we can’t wait to have you back and we’re excited to welcome new faces into our Sixth Form community too. For now, though, it’s time to celebrate. Well done Year 11, you should be very proud!
