Banbridge Academy Prize Day

Our students, their parents and my colleagues deserve to be highly praised for their resilience over recent years. We have continued to remain true to the Academy’s central aim – for everyone to be happy at school, known personally and cared for individually.  Our special ethos is due to the quality of relationships across our community.

 

Every student passed every A Level.  91% of students achieved 3 grades A*- C and 62% of all entries were A*/A grades – truly exceptional results. 79 obtained a minimum of 3 A*/A grades or better.

AS Level results were equally impressive, a pass rate of 100% and 94.5% of all entries achieving A* – C grade.

 

Every Year 12 student achieved at least 5 A*-C grades, 99.5% of the students achieved at least 7 A*-C grades, including English and Mathematics. 61.1% of all entries resulted in top grades A*/A.  At least 9 A* grades.  A further 54 students obtained 9 A*/A grades or better.

 

We commend the Class of 2022 for their resilience and maturity, we thank them for the wonderful memories they have created in the Academy and wish them every success in the next stage of their educational journey.

 

We continue to live in very challenging times with the political uncertainty in the UK and Stormont, the cost-of living crisis and inflation, but please be assured that the Academy will continue to meet the needs of the outstanding young men and women entrusted to our care.
