This year, 52% of pupils achieved a Grade 5 or above in both English and maths – an eight percentage point increase on last year’s results. Three quarters of pupils (77%) achieved at least a Grade 4 in the two subjects.
Nearly a fifth of the school’s Year 11 pupils (18%) gained a Grade 7 or higher in both English and maths.
Among those celebrating particular individual successes were:
- Asvinth S, who achieved six Grade 9s, one Grade 8 and two Grade 7s;
- Kwasi A-K, who achieved two Grade 9s, six Grade 8s and a Grade 6;
- Abdullah Z, who achieved three Grade 9s, two Grade 8s and two Grade 7s among his results;
- Rory L, who achieved two Grade 9s, five Grade 8s, two Grade 7s and a Grade 6;
- Khaalid D, who achieved two Grade 9s, two Grade 8s and two Grade 7s among his results;
- Danyaal A, who achieved three Grade 9s among his results;
- Tirth P, who achieved a Grade 9, five Grade 8s and a Grade 7 among his results.
Abdullah Z said of his results:
“All my teachers have been magnificent and they are the reason I’ve got such strong grades I’m proud of.”
Kwasi A-K added:
“I’m most proud of my biology and maths grades as I struggled with them throughout Year 10, so to come out with 8s in both is amazing.
“Make sure you take every opportunity available to you at the Ernest Bevin Academy as that’s how you shape yourself both as a student and a person.”
Asvinth S said of his future plans:
“Now I’ve got my grades I’m going to study Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry then hopefully in the future pursue mechanical engineering.”
Following last week's excellent A Level results, a number of Year 11s are preparing to return to the school's Sixth Form which also enjoyed celebrations last week as A Level and equivalent results were released. This saw Year 13 students secure some academic, technical and vocational destinations – ranging from a place to study Computer Animation at Escape Studios to course offers for Medicine, Aerospace Engineering and Computer Science at Russell Group universities.
Damola Ademolake, Principal at Ernest Bevin Academy, said of students’ achievements:
“As a Principal it is always a privilege to see students celebrating some excellent achievements and reflecting on what their effort and ambition has secured for them. The qualifications they have gained today are of course important for opening doors to further education and study, but the values our students display are also vital to unlock success.
“Among the individual successes it is also gratifying to see improvements on all key headline measures across the whole cohort. We look forward to welcoming many of these students back this Autumn to continue their studies at our Sixth Form and we wish all of them well as they take their next steps.”
