Students hit the jackpot – again!

Our students are celebrating another impressive haul of A and A* grades (or equivalent) in their GCSE results.

Principal Duncan Cooper said: “I am delighted to say that a third of all grades awarded to our students were A or A* for a second year running. It’s an impressive achievement and shows just how hard our staff and students have worked in a year where the exams have become more challenging and harder to secure these top grades. I am incredibly proud of them all.”

“We are particularly delighted with the grades for languages – in Spanish over half of the cohort achieved an A/A* grade and in Latin 90% of the cohort secured the top grades. In the new style GCSEs students were also successful in securing the top grades with 50% of all students achieving 5+ in English and Maths.”

25% of the BVC students achieved 8 or more A*/A (7-9 E & M). Three students achieved A and A* (equivalent) across the board – Pheobe Elvin, Elizabeth Marriage and Maddie Shohet. Seven students achieved 11 A & A* equivalent – Finn Chapman, Emily Dow, Ben Hale, Tom Nussey, Patrick Safford and Robert Steyn.

These results come at the end of another extremely successful academic year which has seen the college listed in the top 7% of schools in England for pupil progress in English.
