Following record-breaking IB and A Level results announced earlier in the summer, we are pleased to report excellent GCSE results. Almost one in five of all grades returned were scored at the very highest level – Grade 9, 40% of grades were scored 9/8/A*, and 62% were scored 9-7 (A*/A). In the context of grades nationally dropping to levels more closely aligned to 2019 and given the unprecedented challenge Year 11 pupils have faced over the past two years, this level of achievement is highly impressive. It is just reward for a group of Bradfieldians who have shown resilience and adaptability throughout.
Some 52 candidates secured six or more Grades 8 and 9 (A*) and there are many truly exceptional individual performances including the following:
| Isabella | 99999999999A |
| Georg | 999999999A*A |
| Maisie | 9999999999 |
| Harry | 9999999997 |
| Peyton | 999999998 |
| Ike | 99999999 |
| Edward | 9999999988 |
| Ava | 9999999987 |
| Madeleine | 9999999988 |
The global pandemic dealt all pupils a cruel blow but particularly those preparing for public examinations. Learning is a social, emotional experience made harder by remote and socially-distanced teaching. The territory of this year’s GCSE grades is therefore testament to the maturity and perseverance of the pupils, and the commitment of an expert team of teachers and tutors. We wish pupils well as they embark on their respective IB and A Level courses.
