This year’s Brine Leas BL6 students have delighted teachers with an impressive set of A Level results.
In the face of ever more demanding A Level exams, 76% of the cohort gained A* – C grades, with 22% of entries at A* or A.
Virtually all students achieved the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) with at least 65% of students being awarded an A* – B grade.
11 students attained three A grades or better, with two gaining three A* grades.
Once again, BL6 students have a diverse set of destinations.
This year, these include: a degree apprenticeship at JCB, two football scholarships in America, reading English Literature at Oxford and reading Engineering at Cambridge.
As well as these, several Brine Leas students will be starting veterinary or medical courses.
Headteacher Andrew Cliffe commented: “We are thrilled and delighted that so many students, with the help of their families and teachers, have done so well this year.
“A Level reform saw the specifications for most subjects change with linear examinations.
“In the light of so many changes to A Levels, and in some subjects with very little guidance from examination boards and no past papers, students and staff have managed to perform at a consistently high level.”
He added: “On the back of two years of really hard work, we are really pleased that BL6 students have been able to meet their challenging targets and that their grades allow them to carry on with the next stage of their lives.”
