A Level Results 2024
Bristol Free School is celebrating another excellent set of A Level and BTEC results. Today’s GCSE examination results reflect the commitment, ambition and perseverance of our students and staff despite the challenge of Covid-related disruption at a crucial juncture in the students' time at school.
40% of students have been accepted onto courses at Russell Group universities (a group of the most academically selective universities in the country) compared to a national average of 27%. 31% of grades were A*, A, Distinction* or Distinction and all three of our students who applied for Medicine were successful in taking up their place. Further, 82% of A Levels were graded A* - C (compared to a national average of 76%). It was also another excellent year for performance in the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) with students completing projects ranging from Football Finance to 1970s Rock to French History. Finally, we are particularly proud of the significant number of students who will be in the first generation of their family to go to university or to study for an apprenticeship.
Head of Sixth Form, Mr
Smith, commented “we are so proud of the dedication and hard work of our students over the last two years. It
was such a privilege to be with them this morning as they opened their results and received the ample reward for
their hard work. Students have been accepted onto courses from Midwifery to Aerospace Engineering to Cyber
Security at universities as far afield as Manchester, Kent and Leeds. Here's to the new generation of
midwives, engineers and analysts! A number of students are also taking up highly sought after apprenticeship
and employment opportunities. It has been a privilege to witness the passion, energy, and commitment of our 2024
cohort and we wish them the best of luck in their future endeavours!”.
Headteacher, Mrs King, added “we are delighted that this year’s Year 13 have been so successful, and we are
very keen to keep in contact with them through our alumni network. It has been fantastic watching them grow and
we look forward to seeing all that they will achieve in the future!”.
