Bosworth Academy Sixth Form students and staff are celebrating brilliant A level and AS level qualifications this summer.
This year, following the cancellation of exams, grades were awarded through a process of teacher assessed grades, against a national standard and approved and awarded by the exam boards. The government is not publishing performance data for any schools or colleges this year due to the varying impact of the pandemic.
“We are immensely proud of all the work and achievements of our students, especially after such a difficult and disrupted year. Our students faced challenges like never before but remained resilient and determined to achieve their very best. This summer we celebrate our student’s incredible perseverance, resoluteness and continued dedication to study throughout their A/AS levels. The results they have achieved today are incredible, particularly when you consider the obstacles they have faced.
Their achievements are a testimony to the commitment of our staff who worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic, ensuring high-quality learning continued whether students were in school or working remotely. These efforts have enabled our students to progress onto higher education or employment, and we look forward to seeing what our students will achieve in the future.”
Simon Brown Headteacher
“We are incredibly impressed by the attitude and commitment our students have shown throughout their A level courses. They have demonstrated tremendous resilience and their hard work has been rewarded with so many students achieving excellent results. Both staff and students were disappointed that students were unable to sit their exams, but they quickly adapted their approach. This year’s teacher assessed grades will help many of our students secure their first choice destination in higher education, apprenticeships or employment. Recognition should also go to parents and carers, and our superb staff for the dedicated support they have given our students throughout their studies. I wish our students the very best for the future and look forward to seeing where it takes them. We hope many will keep in touch.”
