Students at Bradford Grammar School were celebrating another high-performing year today with one in five A Level grades awarded being an A*.
More than half of the grades (58 per cent) were A*/A and 85 per cent were A*/B with an overall 100 per cent pass rate.
Teenagers arrived at the school with their families to collect their results, with almost all securing the grades needed to take up their university place of choice in subjects such as Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, Politics, Economics and Computer Science. Many were also celebrating coveted apprenticeships.
Of the university subjects, 15 students had offers to study Medicine or Dentistry and ten have been offered places at Durham University.
Dr Simon Hinchliffe, Headmaster at Bradford Grammar School, said: “Our results are consistently strong and we have another set of outstanding grades from our young people this year. At a time when southern schools and regional disparities tend to grab headlines, this is a good news story for the north!
“We share our students’ high ambitions and it’s their commitment, along with our academic teaching, which produce these remarkable results. Our range of co-curricular activities mean our young people also become more than their academic outcomes. BGS offers rich opportunities for personal growth and to build skills for life. They also create a wonderful diversion in a busy world.
“They’ve worked extremely hard while enjoying life at BGS and we’re incredibly proud of them and excited for their futures.”
