The School is celebrating success after achieving a very good set of A Level results that reflect the hard work and industry of our students and the expertise of our teaching staff. The leaving Upper Sixth achieved remarkable results gaining the highest grades, with many subject departments achieving over 80% A* to B, as well as excellent Value Added scores throughout the curriculum.

Paul Sanderson, Headmaster, said:
Congratulations to the Upper Sixth students on their terrific A Level achievement. I am delighted to see that our students have been rewarded for their hard work and determination. I am proud of all they have achieved in their time at Bloxham not just academically or within the broader curriculum but as well-rounded young people who are ready to take the next steps into society. We look forward to hearing of their successes as Old Bloxhamists but today we join them in celebrating their public exam achievements.
