Bishops’ Blue Coat CE High School Celebrates Outstanding A-Level Success

The exceptional efforts of Year 13 students at Bishops’ Blue Coat Church of England High School have culminated in another year of brilliant A-level and BTEC results. These achievements reflect the students’ dedication, perseverance, and commitment to their chosen paths.

Performance Data

Mr Owen, Head of Sixth Form, shared:

“I couldn’t be prouder of what our Year 13 students have achieved. Their determination and strength of character have been truly inspiring. These results reflect not only their academic efforts but also their contribution to Sixth Form life and the wider school community.”

The school also celebrates the achievements of students who joined from other settings for their Sixth Form journey, integrating seamlessly into the Bishops’ community while excelling academically.

Across a wide range of subjects, students demonstrated both examination success and deep subject knowledge. An impressive 77.5% of Level 3 BTEC students achieved a Distinction* or Distinction grade (equivalent to A*/A).

Outstanding achievements across the board

Outstanding individual performances include Alex Keen, Dan Wright, Thomas Emmett, and Isabella Hughes, who each achieved a suite of A* and A grades. Students are progressing to leading universities including Durham, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Chester, to study subjects such as Urban Studies, English Literature, Aerospace Engineering, Veterinary Nursing, Business Management, Game Design, and Primary Education.

Several students will begin Degree Apprenticeships with companies including Samsung and Jaguar, while Lois Robinson, Kate Pimblett, and Alexandra Modoi will go on to study Medicine.

Miss Helen Cairns, Headteacher, said:

“We are incredibly proud of our students and all they have accomplished. It has been wonderful to see the smiles and sense of achievement shared by students this morning as they celebrated their endeavours.  Whether progressing to university, apprenticeships, or employment, they leave Bishops’ ready to make a positive difference in the world.”

The school wishes all students every success in their future careers and destinations.
