There was much to celebrate today as Ysgol John Bright students collected their A level / level 3 results. “Today we see another great cohort find their future having studied here at YJB” commented Hywel Parry, headteacher. “This year two thirds of the cohort have gained at least 1 A or A* grade which is a testament to students’ hard work, the excellent teaching and high quality pastoral care here at the school.” The progress this year’s year 13 students have made from their starting points to their outstanding results today sees the school placed in the top 1% of 6th forms in the UK. (ALPS provisional data).
Off to study Physics at Oxford is Student President Harry Clayton, having gained a remarkable 4A* 1A, ending seven successful years at YJB.
With 60% of all grades awarded being A*-B, other notable successes include Dyan Owen (4A*) off to Cardiff to Study Medicine, Poppy Close (3A*1A) who will read Mathematics at Durham and Lea Brzyska (3A*1A), who will study Physiotherapy at Southampton. Also heading to Durham is Maisie Millican (2A*, 2A) to read History, and one who hopes to tread the boards in future is Charisma Cunningham (2A*, 2A) who is off to study Musical Theatre at LMA in Liverpool.
Chris Davies, head of sixth form commented “although we think of A level and L3 results as the product of time in the Sixth Form, we should also reflect on how these results are the culmination of close to fourteen years in education. Many teachers, teaching assistants, form tutors, mentors, family members and friends will have played a part in today’s successes. We thank everyone for their contribution and collaboration and wish everyone all the best in their next steps.”
