Brine Leas students go from strength to strength

This year our students have done exceptionally well with over 80% achieving A* to C in both Maths and English.

The headline for 5 A* to C, including English and Maths, is over 73% and over 87% achieved 5 or more GCSE's at A* to C. Those achieving the EBacc (English Baccalaureate) weighed in at an impressive 40%. A* and A's came in at a fabulous 27%.

Beneath these headline figures it is also essential to pay tribute to a number of students who have got D's and E's but nevertheless have way surpassed their target grades.

Headteacher, Andrew Cliffe commented: "I am delighted and thrilled with this year's examination results as virtually all of our headline figures are, in fact, better than the last two years.

"It was with some trepidation that we waited for this year's GCSE examination results. Dire warnings have come from the Government and the exam boards about not expecting too much at all. Our students have done incredibly well and deserved their success.

"As ever the results for our young people are a result of team work with parents, staff and students working incredibly hard to achieve their very best. Most students have exceeded their target grades and the headlines this year are very good."

There are some real success stories and many ex Year 11's will be joining the rich mixture of students in the sixth form(BL6) to rekindle existing friendships and also to meet the many young people who are currently at other schools and have chosen BL6.

Any student wishing to register for 2014, and who currently has not done so, needs to contact the school urgently as we have very few places left this year due to high demand.
