Brine Leas School G.C.S.E Results

The Head teacher, David Cole observed: 'Today we are so proud of our Year 11 students who collectively have produced an incredible set of results, brought about by the close partnership and hard work of themselves, the staff and parents in our community. With much talk in the national press about standards and pre-pandemic levels of performance, for our school that's exactly the case. With talk from the Government about the decrease in pass rates and high grades, our results this year are a mirror of our 2019 results with which we were also very pleased.'

Emma Bentley, Assistant Headteacher for Assessment, praised students' maturity and resilience in completing exams following significant disruption to learning during the pandemic. We are incredibly proud of our students for achieving so highly and demonstrating such tenacity along the way. Our students have achieved more than 500 of the higher grades at GCSE (9-7) which is broadly the same as the former GCSE A grade. and a good clutch of Distinction and Distinction* grades in our vocational qualifications

Highlights from this are Matthew M, Megan A, Lydia L, Finlay B-S, Tom G, Ella C and Chanuthmi E who all averaged higher than a Grade 8 across all of their subjects. Nearly half of our students gained at least one grade 7 or higher with a remarkable 28 students gaining some grade 9s.

Achieving high grades is one measure of success, but we like to recognise success in whatever form that may be and at whatever level. Therefore, we would also like to give praise to those students who have exceeded their expectations and achieved higher than expected results.

Highlights from this are Eva T, Alfie H, Luca M, Lilyanna N, Jamie R, Tomas M, Evie C, Alicia J, Chloe B, Florence F-W, Reece V, Ollie J, Thea P, Lydia L, Lucy W, Priya R, Sienna S, Joe W, Skye W, Finlay B-S, Lola M, Megan A, Chanuthmi E, Jack G, Ollie B, Ben J, Ellie-Louise W, Hannah T, Lois N, Matthew M, Joseph R, Elizabeth L, Annie M and Tom G. They have all achieved at least 1 grade (and in some cases 2 grades) higher than expected, averaged across every subject they took, or 8+ grades higher than expected overall. In a year where standards have been raised and pass rates have dropped, this is a fantastic achievement. Another 96 students achieved between 1 and 8 grades higher than expected many more who met their expected grades in most or all subjects.

Mr. Ward, Head of Year 11, has been instrumental in guiding students to their success (often with a healthy dose of Charlie Mackesy quotations). On behalf of colleagues, he would like to wish all of Year 11 students well for the future in whatever they have chosen to do next. We look forward to welcoming the vast majority of them who will return to study A Levels with us next year in BL6. Well done!
