A Level Success

Congratulations Bishop Wand Sixth Formers

Today we celebrate an exceptional set of A Level results.

We are particularly delighted to see a 4% increase in the number of top grades awarded, with more students than ever achieving A* and A grades.

Many of our students will now take their places at leading universities across the country, including a significant number progressing to highly competitive courses such as Medicine, Science, Engineering, Economics and Law. We are immensely proud of their achievements and wish them every success as they begin the next stage of their academic journey.

We also congratulate those students who have chosen alternative pathways. Whether moving into prestigious apprenticeships, degree apprenticeships, work placements, entrepreneurship, employment or international travel, each student should take great pride in what they have accomplished and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

A specific mention also to our ACE cohort, who have enjoyed a successful year both academically and on the field. They now go their separate ways, some to university, many pursuing professional sporting pathways, while others will continue to combine elite sport with their studies at high-performing BUCS universities

Above all, today is about celebrating every student's individual journey and achievement. We thank them for their contribution and look forward to following their future successes. We are incredibly proud of you all and wish you every success for the future.

Mr Aldridge

Headteacher

A message from Mr Wood and Mrs Anderson

We cannot begin to put into words how proud we are of our incredible Sixth Formers. They have worked so hard and have gleaned the harvest of their efforts. It was a joy today to see their diligence come to fruition. To say that we are going to miss this incredible cohort is an understatement, but we are excited to welcome them back in September for our prize giving evening, giving us one last chance to get the full Sixth Form family back together again.
