News BRADFORD GIRLS’ GRAMMAR SCHOOL FULL OF PRIDE AS PUPILS RECEIVE GCSE RESULTS

Pupils at Bradford Girls’ Grammar School are celebrating today as they collect their GCSE results.

The Academy, located on Squire Lane and part of Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust, had a fantastic morning welcoming pupils and their families to celebrate in their success. Overall, 62% of pupils achieved grades 4 or above in English and maths, with 42% achieving grades 5 or above in both subjects.

School leaders say that they are very proud of all the pupils and the hard work they have put in this past year.

Pupils achieved strong results in a range of subjects including English where 80% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above, and 34% achieving a grade 7 or above.

Among the many individual success stories include:

• Arooba and Ruwaeda, who successfully achieved grade 9s and 8s in all their subjects.
• Viktorija, who joined the school part way through Year 11 with no English language skills. Teachers praised her determination, and she went on to achieve grade 4s and above in both English and mathematics, alongside a grade 8 in Spanish.
• Samiya, who following a period away from school, returned with a strong commitment to her studies, achieved good passes in English and mathematics and passed all her other subjects. School leaders commended the progress she made and her determined approach to her studies.

Alongside strong academic outcomes, many pupils have secured places at sixth forms, colleges, apprenticeships and other post-16 destinations, where they will continue their studies and pursue their ambitions.

Collecting her GCSE results today, Ruweada said: “This has been an exceptional outcome. I am so proud of myself. Consistently since I arrived in Y7, I am grateful for all my rewards.”

Samiya said: “I’m extremely proud of myself. I never thought I would make it this far.  I could never have done it without all the wonderful staff who supported me through everything.”

Arooba said: “It’s been a long journey but I’m really glad I was able to achieve the grades I wanted and work so hard as the effort really paid off.”

Caroline Foster, Headteacher at Bradford Girls’ Grammar School, said: “I am absolutely thrilled for our entire school community as we celebrate such outstanding GCSE results at Bradford Girls’ Grammar School.

“Our students have worked incredibly hard, shown tremendous determination and achieved results of which they should be exceptionally proud. I am unbelievably proud of each and every one of them.

“I would also like to pay tribute to our incredible staff, who have worked tirelessly to support, challenge and encourage our young people. Their dedication, expertise and belief in our students has made such a difference, and I cannot thank them enough.

“Today is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate what our students have achieved and to look ahead with excitement to everything that comes next. We are immensely proud of them and wish every member of our Year 11 cohort the very best for the future.”
