Year 13 students at Backwell School have been receiving their A-Level and vocational subject results this morning.

Backwell students have received fantastic results and the vast majority of those who applied to university have secured places at their first-choice universities, including Cambridge. Others have secured extremely valuable Degree Apprenticeships and other training offers or have exciting gap year plans. This year we are particularly pleased to celebrate the huge progress made by this year group: ‘value-added’ measures demonstrate that students in year 13 achieved outcomes significantly above the national average compared against their GCSE results. This shows the hugely impressive work ethic of these young people.

Headteacher Jon Nunes stated:

“We are incredibly proud of our year 13 students. We are looking forward to following their progress as they embark on an exciting new chapter in their lives at university, in training and employment, in many cases preceded by wonderfully exotic travel plans. Congratulations to all our leavers and thanks to parents/carers and Backwell staff for the support and expertise you have given them.”

Head of Sixth Form, Rose Haywood, said: “The Sixth Form Team are delighted to celebrate the achievements of our wonderful students, and we are very proud of how hard they have worked. Support and guidance for future plans will be available on an ongoing basis for those who want help or advice. We wish them all the very best of luck for their next steps”.
