Record Outstanding GCSE Results

Principal Stephen Duckitt is delighted with record GCSE results in which 93% of all pupils gained 5 or more A*-C grades including English and mathematics. One in three of all the GCSE grades were A*/A.  Stephen said "The results , which show a 15% improvement on last year, are testament to the new focus on raising expectations and embedding quality at BCS. These are quite outstanding results for a non-selective school, and 33% of pupils also achieved at least 5 or more A*/A grades individually, with our top students achieving a full house of A*. The future looks very bright for the Senior School, with the school enjoying a 43% growth in pupils numbers this September and now operating waiting lists in most year groups. In addition, our top performing GCSE students this year are all joining Y12 at BCS in September; into a Y12 cohort which has grown by 105% in numbers and into a Sixth Form with over 100 studetns for the first time ever in the school's history."
