2022 GCSE results exceed all expectations

With an outstanding pass rate, almost two-thirds of GCSE results graded 6 and above and 39% graded 9-7, this year our Year 11 students have more than doubled their expected targets at the highest level and surpassed all expectations.

Mr Barker, Bridgewater’s Deputy Head (Academic) says “This year group have faced disruptions to their education from the very start of their GCSE course. As a result, many of these young people have struggled with self-doubt and the confidence to stand independently and have worked extremely hard to overcome these challenges. Therefore, to have performed at this level is testament both to their determination and resilience, the commitment and dedication of our teaching staff, and the mutual support of our parent body. Three-quarters of students achieved at least one GCSE at grade 7 or above and collectively they have significantly exceeded all expectations in the top grades.”

Success was seen across all areas with a 100% pass rate recorded in over half of all subjects including French, Spanish, Drama, Art and Music.

Mrs Carroll, whose daughter was one of the students to emerge with a full suite of the top grades of 9-7, comments “We have been part of the Bridgewater family since our girls were 3 years old and we are so grateful for the all that they have helped our daughter achieve. Under their care and tutelage, she has shone and we are incredibly proud of her success.”

The GCSE results follow another fantastic year of results for Bridgewater A-level students, who again celebrated a 100% pass rate with almost a quarter of all grades at A* and A and success across all subjects.
