A2 and AS Results 2016

Our A Level results this year are among the best ever obtained in Banbridge Academy. The pass rate is 98.6% with 48.8% of all entries achieving grades A*/A, which when combined with the 23.8% of entries gaining a grade B, yields an impressive total of grades A*- B of 72.6%. Out of the 168 pupils who entered these examinations 60 gained a minimum of 3 A grades or better, with 7 obtaining 4 A*/A grades. These excellent performances are consistent across the year group, with 131 pupils, 78.0%, attaining A*- C in a minimum of 3 A Levels which demonstrates considerable strength in depth.

Once again we warmly congratulate all of our pupils on their magnificent achievements and we wish them well as they begin the next stage of their careers. These results would not have been obtained, however, without the dedication and commitment of the teaching staff of the Academy; their professional approach has undoubtedly underpinned this success. The education of our young people involves a partnership and I want to pay tribute to my colleagues in our primary schools who have created the foundation for the success our pupils enjoy today. I know our parents are delighted with the success of their sons and daughters and they too must be congratulated for their consistent support and encouragement as we work together to ensure high levels of success for our pupils.

At AS Level the pass rate of 97.2% ranks with the best ever achieved by our Year 13 pupils, providing an excellent foundation on which to build for A Level success in 2017. Once again they reflect the hard work of our students, the diligence of our teaching staff and the ongoing support of parents.

Our pupils continue to excel and we have no doubt these impressive performances will continue year on year.
