These results follow the excellent set of A level results announced on 15th August where 96% of Upper Sixth pupils secured a university place, with 81% achieving their first choice. A third of all grades were awarded an A* or A equivalent across A Levels and IB.
In the IB programme, 64% of pupils achieved 40 points or more, with two pupils achieving the maximum 45 points, putting them in the top 0.5% globally.
Bryanston’s outgoing pupils are now set to embark on their journeys to a wide a range of prestigious universities both in the UK and internationally. These include Oxford, UCL, Imperial, Edinburgh, Warwick, LSE, SOAS and King’s College London, as well as Texas A&M in the USA, and IE Madrid, Institut Français de la Mode and University College Maastricht in Europe. Additionally, pupils will join elite Music Conservatoires, Professional Dance Training Schools, Film Academies and Art Schools, while others will begin degree apprenticeships – highlighting the growing interest in alternative pathways amongst Bryanston’s sixth formers.
Head Richard Jones praised both year groups, commenting: “Congratulations to all our pupils for achieving such excellent results. These achievements not only reflect their academic abilities, but also their ability to balance rigorous academic work with commitments outside the classroom whether in sports, music or the arts. For our Upper Sixth pupils, it is particularly encouraging to see them pursuing a diverse range of pathways beyond Bryanston, truly reflecting the breadth of our offering in our sixth form.”
