Year 11 BSAK students are celebrating their best ever exam results, even after a period of disrupted education that significantly impacted their ‘face to face’ learning. Of 127 students and 1225 entries, 27% received Grade 9, the highest grade possible (26% in 2021), and 46% were graded 9-8, (43% in 2021) equivalent to an A*. Furthermore, 62% were graded 9-7 equivalent to A*or A and 91% were graded 9-5 (A*-B). Once again we received a 100% pass rate. 10 students received 9 or more Grade 9s and an impressive 39 students received 8 or more Grades of 9 or 8. An incredible 60 students received 8 or more Grade 9-7 results, equivalent to A* – A.

The following 10 students received 9 or more Grade 9s.

We are delighted that our students have been rewarded with grades that reflect their ability, hard work and determination, in what has been for them a significantly unsettling and challenging period of their education.

Headmaster, Mark Leppard MBE commented ‘I am almost lost for words with pride for our Year 11 cohort, that they have surpassed the results of previous years. These grades show a continuous improvement, not only over the Teacher Assessed Grades (TAGs) of the last two years, but also over our pre- covid cohorts. This underlines our fair allocation of grades during Covid, the high quality of teaching at BSAK, and above all the grit and determination of our students, to work hard and overcome their circumstances. They are a testament to great resilience.

Teresa Woulfe, Head of Secondary commented.

It is easy to forget that the pandemic started when these students were in Year 9 meaning a loss of face to face learning but our students have been rewarded for their conscientious approach and adaptability to their studies.

I am incredibly proud of what they have achieved and they thoroughly deserve their success and more. It makes me even more proud as I leave BSAK this year that these are the highest GCSE results to date, a wonderful legacy to build upon. Thanks must be given to our outstanding teaching staff, our parents and wider community for the way their support superseded the many restrictions.
