Perfect A Level pass rate for 2024

We are incredibly proud to announce that, for yet another consecutive year, our Sixth Form students have achieved a 100% pass rate in their A Level examinations. A remarkable 40% of all grades were at the highest level of A*-B, across a wide range of subjects including Art, Business Studies, English Language & Literature, French, History, Mathematics and Psychology. This continued success is a testament to their hard work, dedication and the unwavering support they have received from our teaching staff.

Once again, all of our students have successfully secured a place at a destination of their choice, with many securing their first-choice options. This year, these destinations include prestigious institutions such as Lancaster University, the University of Leeds and the University of Sheffield, among others.

It is particularly noteworthy that a number of our students have overcome significant personal challenges alongside their studies. Through close personal attention and the support provided by our small tutor groups, they have persevered and achieved results that reflect their resilience and determination. We are immensely proud of each and every one of them for their commitment and dedication.

This year’s success is especially significant, as it is the first time students impacted by COVID during their earlier exam years were not given any provision with grade boundaries. To maintain the high standards set by their predecessors under these circumstances is an achievement to be truly proud of.

The efforts of our young people have paved the way for them to embark on some incredibly exciting opportunities, with degree courses ranging from Aerospace Engineering, Sports Journalism and English Literature, to Business, International History & Politics, Artificial Intelligence, Marketing & PR, Accounting and Law.

As we celebrate these achievements, we look forward to seeing our students thrive in their chosen fields, confident that the education and values they have received at Bridgewater School will continue to guide them in all their future endeavours.

For those interested in the benefits of a Bridgewater education for their A Level studies, a Sixth Form Open Evening will be held on Thursday 26th September 2024. To register, please contact Mrs Hilton, Head of Sixth Form, hiltonv@bwslive.co.uk 

As a student, you are the most amazing discovery you will ever make.
