Outstanding A Level results for 2025
Bridgewater School is delighted to celebrate the exceptional achievements of our 2025 Year 13 cohort, whose dedication and commitment to their studies have been rewarded with a host of truly outstanding A Level results. Almost 50% of all grades were awarded at A*-B, with an impressive quarter at the very highest level of A* and A. These results represent success across all measures, with a significant increase in the number of top grades marking a strong return to our pre-pandemic performance and reflecting the national picture.
Such academic excellence has secured our students places at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities including the University of Leeds, Lancaster University, Newcastle University and the University of Liverpool. These places were secured not only on the strength of their grades, but also on the quality of their applications and the way our Sixth Formers are supported to communicate their skills, experiences and aspirations with confidence. Degree choices are as diverse as they are inspiring, spanning Medicine, Educational Psychology, Economics, Urban Planning, Occupational Health, Criminology, Business & Finance, Geology, History and a variety of Engineering courses including Nuclear, Chemical, Software and Sound.
The accomplishments of the Class of 2025 extend far beyond examination grades. Many have embodied Bridgewater’s core values through an impressive range of personal achievements. These include undertaking additional Extended Project Qualifications, leading the school community as ambassadors and role models, completing the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, and continuing to embrace musical and performing arts activities – all alongside their studies. Other notable successes include embarking upon the journey to become an APTL Cadet with TUI, and progressing into Sports Coaching at UA92. Several students also returned to Bridgewater after attending other colleges, demonstrating remarkable resilience and determination to succeed.
Among the many individual success stories this year, several students achieved the highest possible grades in their A Level subjects. Rumaysah Khan, a passionate scientist, secured excellent grades across the board and will now take up a place to study Medicine at the University of Leeds. Joseph Graham achieved top grades in Physics and Mathematics and will begin a Masters degree in Nuclear Engineering at Lancaster University. Star Son, who has been part of the Bridgewater family since the Early Years, achieved straight A grades and will now go on to read Psychology at the University of Leeds. Dalia Yousif, another outstanding performer and lifelong Bridgewater student, will be going on to study Medicine at Newcastle University following a flawless set of A* and A grades. Their achievements reflect the dedication, ambition and academic excellence that have defined the Bridgewater Class of 2025.
These successes are underpinned by the distinctive strengths of our Sixth Form – its close-knit community, supportive environment and the personalised attention each student receives. This combination enables every learner to explore their talents, excel in the areas they are most passionate about, and present themselves with confidence when pursuing future opportunities.
Head of Sixth Form, Mrs Hilton, said: “We are incredibly proud of our students’ achievements this year. Their results, destinations and personal journeys are a testament to their hard work, determination and the unwavering support of our dedicated staff. We wish them every success in the exciting next chapters of their lives.”
The entire Bridgewater community extends its warmest congratulations to the Class of 2025 – we could not be prouder.
