THE RESILIENCE of teenagers sitting this year’s A-levels has been praised by the headteacher of Bulmershe School.

The Year 13 pupils achieved a 99% pass rate for grades A*-E.

And 28% of the cohort achieved A*-A grades, 55% had A*-B grades, and 82.2% were A*-C.

Amanda Woodfin, the Woodley-based school’s head, said: “These are such fantastic results considering the turbulent times the students have had to deal with.

“Year 13, the resilience you have shown under such conditions is remarkable. You are all exceptional, inspiring, and talented young people and we couldn’t be prouder of you.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the students, staff and parents for their dedication and support in gaining these results.”
