Fantastic A Level Results achieved!
Bradley Stoke Post 16 students celebrate another year of excellent results and secure places at top universities and degree apprenticeships.
Once again, Bradley Stoke Community School is incredibly proud of the outstanding achievements of our Post 16 students in their A level and vocational qualifications this summer. The results are particularly impressive because these students missed the opportunity to sit their GCSE exams in 2021, so this examination series was, for many, the first they had sat.
20% of all grades achieved were A*-A, and 42% were A*-B. These results are similar to those achieved in 2019, the last time there was a similar exam series. The average grade per entry remained at a B grade this year. As always, students leave us to go on to fantastic opportunities at top Russell Group universities, degree apprenticeships, and one student has even secured a full athletic scholarship at the University of Pittsburgh.

Headteacher, Peter Lynch, expressed his pride in the students’ achievement: ‘Our students worked incredibly hard and showed resilience and commitment to achieve these results. I would also like to extend my thanks to our dedicated staff, who always set high standards and have supported our young people to help them fulfil their potential. We wish everyone receiving their results today every success with whatever they choose to do next.’
Assistant Headteacher and Head of Post 16, Sadie McCombe, was delighted with the results: ‘These are fantastic results for our students and have come as a direct result of the relentless commitment and effort that the students and staff have put in over the past two years. I am so pleased that their efforts have been recognised and wish them the best for the future.’
