Following on the heels of an excellent set of A Level and BTEC results, ArtsEd pupils are celebrating today after achieving some superb results in their GCSEs.

In a year when ArtsEd had its largest number of GCSE entries, 100% of Year 11 students achieved 9-4 in Maths and in one English GCSE, 98% of results were graded 9-4 (up 2% on 2019) and the percentage of grades 9-7  was 46% (up 3% on 2019).  These results are extremely impressive – not only are they an improvement on 2023, but crucially they exceed the excellent pre-pandemic results of 2019, which were the School’s best results since GCSEs were reformed.

‘It is wonderful to be able to celebrate such a fantastic, record-breaking, set of results today. Our pupils, their parents and their teachers can be incredibly proud of these achievements.  Their enormous hard work and dedication have paid off – many congratulations to them all. Our ethos provides a broad and balanced education which excites, challenges, and inspires our students to achieve their potential.  I am delighted that, coupled with individualised support that enables pupils to realise their academic and vocational potential, this has been reflected in these outstanding results. We look forward to welcoming those returning Year 11s into our Sixth Form in September, alongside our new students, as they continue with their academic and vocation journeys; our best wishes go with pupils who will continue their education elsewhere.’

Our Sixth Form curriculum allows Sixth Form students to immerse themselves in the subjects that they love; they can study a variety of different courses that include A levels and BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma qualifications.  This enables them to focus entirely on their vocational development or pursue academic interests alongside their passion for the performing arts.

At the heart of supporting this success is the ‘ArtsEd Curriculum’ – in which daily vocational training of the highest quality is rooted and integrated within the academic programme.  This was recognised by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in the most recent inspection, when they awarded the School the highest accolade – an area of significant strength:

‘The Standards that pupils achieve in performing arts, in line with the school’s expressed aims, are a significant strength of the school.’

Many congratulations to all our Year 13 students who have achieved an excellent set of results in this year’s A Levels and BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma qualifications.

At A Level, our A* – B rate up by 8% to 71%;  91% of our BTEC students achieved D*D*D* – DDD (the equivalent of A*A*A* – AAA at A level).  These are outstanding results, and among our students celebrating today were Amelie who achieved 3 A*s in her A levels, and Sienna and Josie who both achieved D*D*D* in the BTEC and an A* in their additional A level.

Headteacher, Peter Middleton, is delighted with these results:

‘I am absolutely thrilled for all our students and staff, who have worked so hard over these last two years. This is wonderful recognition of their endeavours. There are exceptional results, but it is equally important to highlight and congratulate those students who worked hard to achieve their grades across the full spectrum of results – a hard-won B grade, when predicted a C, is an equally significant achievement.  All our students, who applied, achieved a place at their university of first choice, conservatoire, or institution of further training.  This is a multi-talented year group, and many are now going on to leading institutions both in the UK and abroad, or into the industry.  Congratulations to them all – we wish them every success in their future careers.’

‘Congratulations to all our students for their remarkable achievements, and thank you to their families for their ongoing support.  Our Sixth Form has once again demonstrated the exceptional dedication and hard work that has led to impressive outcomes across all areas of the ArtsEd Curriculum.  The A Level and BTEC results reflect not only the academic prowess of our students, but also showcase their practical knowledge and skills.  The resilience they have shown throughout their studies has been amazing and we look forward to seeing them thrive in their future endeavours.’

The Head of BTEC, Lizzie Bellamy, congratulated the BTEC students:

‘They should all be proud of what they have achieved, individually and collectively, and the creatives they have grown into. I hope they can all look back on their journeys at ArtsEd with pride, knowing that they can overcome challenges with resilience and confidence.  They are wonderfully motivated, open, and keen to share their creative voice.  We look forward to hearing of their future successes.’

At the heart of supporting these successes is the ‘ArtsEd Curriculum’ – where vocational training of the highest quality is rooted and integrated within the academic programme.  This was recognised by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in the most recent inspection, when they awarded the School the highest accolade – an area of significant strength:
