Bloxham School is celebrating success after achieving a strong set of A Level results.
In this disrupted and unusual year Bloxham pupils undertook rigorous examination testing to achieve some excellent evidence based grades. We appreciate that it has been a difficult year for many students in the education sector, so we are extremely proud of the grit, determination and willingness to succeed shown by this year’s cohort.
Bloxham’s results saw nearly three quarters of all grades being achieved within the top grades. Bloxham students scored 90% A*-C with 73% at grades A*’B, and nearly half of all results were at A*/A grades. The small number of students who undertook BTEC qualifications achieved over 80% at Distinction*/Distinction (the equivalent to A*/A in UCAS points). Once again there were excellent value added scores throughout the curriculum and strong performances in particular from the Sciences, Technology, Geography, Music, Theology and Languages which added to the impressive set of results.
Our students will go on to study for degrees as diverse as Medicine to Architecture, and Veterinary to Astrophysics, with the majority of students gaining entry to Russell Group universities.
I wish to extend many congratulations to our Upper Sixth today on their A Level achievements. I am delighted to see such success across the cohort and I am so pleased'that, despite the disruptions over the past two academic years,'these young men and women can now go on to read such a wide range of courses at the universities of their choice.'I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the dedicated staff who helped our pupils to achieve their ambitions.
Paul Sanderson, Headmaster
The skills that'our students'have learnt alongside their studies whilst at Bloxham, including those of resilience, patience, compassion and a spirit of adventure,'will complement the opportunities opened up by these fine academic grades.'This cohort of'students can take up their place in society as leaders and culture changers. I look forward to following their successes with interest and'of course, to welcoming these'wonderful young people'back when they'return to school as successful Old Bloxhamists in the future.
