BHASVIC has also shared that 36 of their students are progressing on to medical degrees. 

Principal William Baldwin said: "I’d like to thank all our staff for their dedication and congratulate BHASVIC students for all they have achieved. Our results are a reflection of many things that make BHASVIC such a unique learning community.

"We have some of the best teaching staff in the country, specialists who will go the extra mile to bring their subject to life and inspire a life-long interest in learning. The support provided by our Additional Learning Support and Pastoral teams ensures that every student has the same opportunity to flourish.

"While our students bring a consistent interest and curiosity to their learning and to supporting each other through clubs, societies, study groups and peer mentoring. One of our core aims is to get students to think for themselves and to know what to do if unsure.

"These attributes allow students to enter into exams with confidence and calm, achieving to the best of their ability, but will be of benefit far beyond the exam hall. It is fantastic to know that every student leaving BHASVIC this year will be well-prepared for their next steps.

"Our results are a culmination of years of learning and as such I’d like to thank our schools for laying the foundations. Thanks must also go to our parents and carers for the support they provide to our learners.

"And a final word to our students: Remember that your results don’t define you – kindness and compassion are more important qualities than grades. Success comes in many forms and for some students simply attending college is to be celebrated in the face of life’s many challenges.

"I know you have exciting futures ahead - good luck as you embark on your varied and exciting progression routes. You are all exceptional, inspiring, and talented young people and we couldn’t be prouder of you."
