GCSE RESULTS 2024

his cohort of students had the first few years of their secondary education hugely affected by the covid pandemic. Despite this, these pupils have shown huge resilience and positivity. We saw their hard work and seriousness throughout the GCSE courses and, especially, during the examination period itself. It is, therefore, very satisfying to note the exceptional progress this year group had made against national measures.

It is especially pleasing to see that the vast majority of Backwell students had secured a place at the institution and course of their choice for the next stage of their education.

Headteacher Jon Nunes said: “Congratulations to all our year 11 students. You should be incredibly proud of your hard work and achievements. We can’t wait to continue working with many of you in Backwell Sixth Form and look forward to following with equal interest the progress of those who have chosen alternative courses or training next year.”

 

Post-16 Results 2024

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 Oxford. 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 A and A* grades of students who joined Backwell Sixth Form having not previously attended mainstream education, they are a brilliant example of students who have worked hard to achieve their potential with the support of the sixth form team and their teachers.

Headteacher Jon Nunes stated:

“We are incredibly proud of our year 13 students, who have met the huge challenges they have faced over the last few years with positivity and determination. 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.”
