Amongst the backdrop of uncertainty, lockdown and long-awaited results, 120 Birchwood High’s A-Level and Level 3 BTEC students were overjoyed and relieved to receive some excellent grades meaning that everyone moving onto Higher Education, would be able to progress successfully.
Dr. Ingate commented “This cohort of A-Level Students gave a lot to the school and it was a shame to see their final year cut short in March. Nevertheless, it was super to see them again this morning and to wish them the very best with their futures.”. Mr. Torrance, Head of Sixth Form added, “I am very proud of this year group, they are a real reflection of the Birchwood Community and so many of worked incredibly hard during their time with us and ensuring that they made a real impact along the way! During lockdown what has impressed me most is how they have shown a real sense of maturity and resilience that will enrich them for many years to come, I wish them all the very best in their next steps.” The school reported that most grades were in line with their teacher’s assessments – and particularly strong at the A/A* level. The school has shared their teacher’s assessments with the students to help anyone who wished to appeal.
