Students at Bradley Stoke Community School (BSCS) have overcome the numerous challenges thrown up by the coronavirus pandemic to register another “strong set” of GCSE results, which are said to be “broadly in line” with previous years’ outcomes for attainment and progress.
A school spokesperson said:
“With all of the difficulties faced with the coronavirus pandemic, the closing of schools and the issues surrounding how results are being awarded, we are delighted to announce that our Year 11 students have still managed to shine through and achieve fantastic results.”
“There are so many success stories, not just from individuals in the spotlight for achieving the top grades, but for every young person who has surpassed their own personal targets and made remarkable progress.”
Headteacher Steve Moir, commented:
“We are all really proud of our students’ achievements, particularly with all of the additional challenges they have had to cope with this year with the coronavirus pandemic. We are delighted that their immense hard work has paid off and we have seen so many students succeed and gain fantastic qualifications.”

Olympus Academy Trust chief executive officer Dave Baker commented:
“BSCS has produced another strong set of results to continue the trend of high achievement from the students. I would like to congratulate the students but also thank the staff as this would not be possible without them being willing to go the extra mile for their students, especially in the context of Covid-19 and the disruption and difficulties this has caused. We are confident that the Teacher Assessed Grade process has provided a fair and reliable system to identify the appropriate grades for students. Well done to all involved.”
