Students and staff at Bradfield College are celebrating a record-breaking set of A Level results, which includes a very impressive 50% increase in A* grades and nearly half of all entries achieving A* or A grades. This continues the impressive trajectory of recent years.
Combining these outstanding A Level results with the equally impressive achievements of Bradfield’s IB Diploma students further demonstrates the remarkable academic strength across the College.
Headlines include:
18% of all results were graded A* or equivalent.
52% of all results were graded A*-A or equivalent.
82% of all results were graded A*-B or equivalent.
35 students achieved at least 2 A* grades or equivalent
80% of students will be studying at Russell Group or Top 20 universities
Jeremy Quartermain, Head of Bradfield College, commented: “These are an outstanding set of results, and they are reflective of the intellectual ambition and creative culture that exists here within our Sixth Form.
There are many personal successes to celebrate but we are delighted that this is the highest performing cohort in Bradfield’s recent history. None of this would be possible without the encouragement, support and inspiration provided by our fantastically committed teachers.
Bradfield College is a vibrant and busy community and we are proudly inclusive. Our educational offering is deliberately holistic, and we focus upon helping young people to fulfil their personal ambitions across many different areas of endeavour by consistently adding value. Excellent teaching and learning and an uncompromising commitment to achieving optimal academic performance inspires and motivates our young people to excel in public examinations and many other areas of school life.
Congratulations on a what is wonderfully positive day for Bradfield College.”
Jamie Emmett, Deputy Head (Academic), said: “We are immensely proud of these impressive outcomes, which reflect not only the academic ambition of our students and staff, but also the inclusive spirit of the College and our commitment to helping every individual achieve their personal best. These results are a testament to the inspiring teaching and learning that underpins all that we do, and to the dedication and determination of our students. It is wonderful to see their hard work rewarded and to celebrate all they will go on to accomplish in the next stages of their education.”
