This year’s talented exam cohorts collectively returned the highest grades in Bradfield College’s history outside of the pandemic.

IB DIPLOMA: 93% of grades for individual subjects were above a 5 out of a possible 7 marks and the average point score across the cohort was 37 out of a maximum possible score of 45. Over 90% of pupils scored above 32 where offers for Russell Group universities begin and more than 20% of pupils scored over 40 points, the threshold for the most competitive universities.

A LEVEL: 76% of all grades were A*-B, 10% of all grades were A* and 38% A*-A.

GSCE: over 39% of all grades scoring 9/8/A* and 59% scoring 9-7 (A*-A).

Although most pupils will take up places in the UK, it is very much an international arena with a significant group headed to universities overseas, including Havard (USA), Duke (USA), Bocconi (Italy) and McGill (Canada).

This year we had 157 applicants to universities (including overseas). 135 accepted their first choice of destination, 13 second choice and 9 went into clearing.
