Braintree Sixth Form’s First International Baccalaureate and A Level Results

Students and staff at Braintree Sixth Form are celebrating their first A Level and IB results, with students gaining excellent grades and achieving places at top universities. An A*-E pass rate of 98% was achieved by the students, making this a very successful first year. The A Level results follow the already published International Baccalaureate results, where students achieved a 90% pass rate, significantly exceeding the worldwide average of 78%.

On Thursday 15th July, the upper corridor of the Sixth Form was transformed into an end of course exhibition of AS and IB Art and AS Design and Technology. All students had their own exhibition space to display their unique and original work and many students, parents and teachers turned out to appreciate the hours spent in sketchbooks, portfolios and on final pieces.

The work included prints created during a visit to the Curwen Print Studio, large scale acrylic paintings, creations with mod-roc and mixed media. Among the excellent DT work on show were creative furniture constructions that had recently been highly commended at the Chelmsford College Engineering Competition. The evening was a great success, if somewhat daunting for some students!

On the 25th June 2010 Braintree Sixth Form joined more than 7,500 school and college students at the Essex University Higher Education Superfair. We had opportunities to meet representatives from a huge range of universities and be able to go to lectures about anything from Gap Years to English.

The two large halls were crammed full of stands with representatives from the various Higher Education providers. We were able to ask them about the universities, what courses they offer and the range of facilities they have. We collected prospectuses which answered some of our questions and gave us information about open days. We were able to talk to people from over 130 universities situated all over the UK, from Brighton to Aberdeen.

The chance of going to see a choice of 11 different lectures that were put on every half an hour for us was one that couldn’t be resisted by us students, being able to speak with specialists in their area in a lecture hall was a new and exciting prospect that most of us used to our advantage. There was a large range of lectures we could go to, some on subjects, such as Business and Media and some on other things such as student life and student finance.

Overall it was a productive day where we learnt a lot and came home with more of an insight into the world of universities and our bags crammed full of prospectuses.
