Bristol Free School is celebrating another year of excellent GCSE and Level 2 Vocational results. Despite significant Covid disruption at the start of their secondary school journey, this cohort have become a closely knit community and demonstrated high levels of resilience.
The school saw 84% of students achieving at least a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and Maths with 66% achieving 5+ and reported 42% of all grades as 7+.
The proportion of students who achieved five or more grades at 4+ exceeded the national average, despite a nationally reported dip in results from 2023. Most of the cohort will remain at BFS to study in the Sixth Form.
Headteacher Susan King said: “I am absolutely delighted with this year’s GCSE and BTEC results! We are all so proud of how hard this cohort have worked in very challenging circumstances. The number of students achieving a grade 4 and above in English and maths is fantastic and an important benchmark for their progress onto post 16 courses. We look forward to welcoming students back to our Sixth Form.”
