2023 A Level results mark perfect pass rate

Congratulations to our Sixth Form students who have achieved an outstanding milestone by securing another remarkable 100% pass rate in their 2023 A Level examinations. The results highlight the dedication and perseverance of these students and the entire Bridgewater community congratulates the Class of 2023 on a fantastic achievement.

As a school we take immense pride in celebrating this significant accomplishment, with success extending across a diverse range of A Level subjects and vocational BTEC courses. Despite the challenges posed by the national context, including a return to pre-pandemic grade boundaries and a reduction in top grades, these Year 13 students have demonstrated their resilience and true determination.

Mrs Hilton, Head of Sixth Form, said: “Of particular note is the fact that this cohort of students had never before experienced an external examination series, making their achievement even more commendable. With an impressive number of all grades falling within the A*-B range, our students’ dedication to their studies shines very brightly indeed.”

Students will now embark on exciting journeys to prestigious institutions such as St. Catherine’s College at the University of Oxford and Lancaster University, to study Psychology, Politics Philosophy and Economics, and Computer Science. Others are set to continue showcasing their talent through music production, performance and sound engineering degrees, while Higher Level apprenticeships and degrees in Mechanical and Civil Engineering have remained a popular choice. Regardless of their destination, a diverse array of degree courses awaits, truly exemplifying the unique and vibrant nature of Bridgewater’s student body.

The Sixth Form Department attributes its consistent success to the exceptional focus and care it dedicates to its students. Through small, intimate classes, a supportive network of tutor groups and personalised one-to-one guidance, it fosters an environment where every student’s potential can flourish. This nurturing approach has proven to be a cornerstone of our school’s educational philosophy, resulting in excellent pass rates, year after year.
