A Level Results for 2011 by subject

 

The second year of A Levels at BISR produced excellent results, which reflected the hard work done by the students themselves as well as the dedication of their teachers. Here the results are listed by subject.

As can be seen, our results come up very favourably against the UK national average and hold their own against the ISC (Independent Schools Council) average, especially given that our selection into Sixth Form is based only on achieving 6 A*-C grades at GCSE and that we try our best to find courses for all our students, if possible.  

 

Most of our students have chosen to study in England, although some have gone to Canada, the US and South Africa.  Three students of the 28 in Year 13 are not yet in Higher Education, but are either in the process of applying to or will do so for next year.

 

We are very pleased that of the 59 entries at A2, 15 of these grades (25.4%) represented an improvement of at least one grade from AS (I have not counted moving from A at AS Level to A* at A2 in this figure).
