Exam Results To Celebrate

We are again celebrating another year of fantastic exam performance by last years’ Year 11 and Year 13 cohort. The progress made by Year 11 students from when they started with us in Year 7 was once again extremely high and they deserve to be immensely proud of their achievements. Their hard work and dedication, supported by their parents and their teachers, has truly paid dividends.

At GCSE, over 83% of all grades were at grade 4 or higher and over 35% were at grade 7 or higher. A total of 54 students achieved at least 8 GCSEs at grade 7 or higher, with Lily Walke, Arpit Bhabra, Isaac Rutter, Megan Purcell, Martha Fitch, Shreya Tripathi, Jacob Glendenning, Sam Dickens and Clara Zeferino achieving an extraordinary total of 70 grade 9s between them. The cohorts’ performance ensures that students can smoothly progress to further study, with all doors open to them.

In Year 13, 30% of all grades achieved were at A* to A, with 10% of all grades being A*, and over 79% of grades were C or better. 45 students gained at least 3 A*/A grades or better, with 11 achieving at least 3 A*. Special mention must be made of the achievement of Alex Scourfield, Eleanor Jeffery, Edmund Tyler and Miguel Zeferino who all gained at least four A* grades.

Six students who held offers from Oxford or Cambridge have the grades required to start their courses. More than 200 St Bartholomew’s students will be taking up places at universities across the country and many others have secured places on competitive apprenticeship programmes. Whether students have progressed to St Bart’s Sixth Form, taken up places at college, university or on an apprenticeship programme, or are travelling other new pathways, we wish them all the very best as they move on to the next stage of their lives. Their successes lie not just in their academic progress, but also in the way in which they have been a real asset to the school as a whole, acting as excellent role models who have made a really positive contribution to the wider school community.
