Celebrating Success at Brentside 2024

We are delighted to congratulate Brentside High School’s Year 13 students on their excellent examination results.

Achievement is strong across both A Levels and the vocational BTEC qualifications. As illustrations of this, 21% of all A Level grades were A*/A and half of all grades were A*-B. In the vocational courses, 68% of all grades were Distinction*/Distinction and 93% Distinction*- Merit. An impressive 76% of Brentside students achieved at least one of these top grades.

 Julia Bosher, Head of Sixth Form, said “I am very proud of our Year 13 students for the very pleasing results they have achieved in their A/AS levels and BTEC courses. I wish every one of them great success in whatever path they choose for their future and look forward to hearing from the year's to come."

We are proud of you ALL. Thank you also to the families and staff who have guided and supported. Well done to our Class of 2024. We wish you all the best in the next stage of your journey and look forward to hearing of your successes.”

Celebrating Year 11 Success with the Class of 2024

Congratulations to our Year 11 students on all that they have achieved- not just in the grades they have collected today, but in the people that they have become, the individual progress they have made and the determination, hard work and positivity that has characterised their journeys.

With a reported full national return to pre-pandemic grading levels, we are delighted to be able to celebrate the significant number of top grades, with 43% of our students achieving between one and 13 x 7-9 grades (A/A* equivalent) and a core group of students, some of whom we celebrate below, achieving between eight and 13 of these top grades each. In total our students achieved almost 392 top grades between them.

Examples of some of our individual students’ success stories are:

• Stella: Grade 9x6, Grade 8x4, grade 7x1, Grade 6x1
• Daniel W: Grade 9x5, Grade 8x4, Grade 7x1, Grade 5x1, Grade pass x1
• Saif: Grade 9x3, Grade 8x5, Grade 7x2, Grade 6x1, Grade pass x1
• Toby:  Grade 9x3, grade 8x6, Grade 7x1, Grade 5x2
• Hamid: Grade 9x1, Grade 8x4, Grade 7x5, grade 6x2
• Krishmit: Grade 9x1, Grade 8x3, Grade 7x5, Grade 6x3, Grade 5x1
• Razvan: Grade 8x3, Grade 7x4, Grade 6x4, Grade merit x1

We also celebrate some exceptional performances across subject areas, with 100% of students achieving 5-9 grades in Physics, and 96% of students achieving 5-9 grades in Chemistry and in Biology. Particularly strong individual performances are also evident in English Language and Literature, History, Heritage Languages and Mathematics. We are especially proud of successes in citizenship, a subject we place great value on, reinforcing our British Values and enabling our students to understand and participate in the governance and politics of our country.  

 

Success is of course relative to each individual and we celebrate and congratulate all students whose individual grades, across the grade spectrum, reflect exceptional progress during their time at Brentside.

Headteacher, Charlotte Hames, commented:

 “We are incredibly proud of our students’ individual successes this year and of their hard work, talent and determination. We thank our parents and carers for working in partnership with us over the years, and our dedicated staff team, who have guided, supported and inspired our students on their journey.”

To our students, we look forward to welcoming you back in September as you embark on your Sixth Form courses, with all the excitement that comes from specialising in the subjects you are most passionate about and from the increased independence and supported challenge that Sixth Form life brings.

We are confident that you will go on to mirror this year’s fantastic A Level and BTEC results, where 21% of all A Level grades were A*/A and half of all grades were A*-B. In the vocational courses, 68% of all grades were Distinction*/Distinction and 93% Distinction*-Merit. An impressive 76% of Brentside students achieved at least one of these top grades. We know that you will flourish through the additional opportunities that our students access at Brentside, alongside their chosen courses. To those of you who are moving on to specialise at college, apprenticeship, training programme or other courses, we wish you the very best for the future and look forward to hearing of your success.
