University Success at Braintree Sixth Form. Students and staff at BSF are celebrating another excellent set of examination results, with students gaining top grades in both A level and IB.
The vast majority of students will be going on to university, joining a very successful group of alumni. Among the top A level achievers are Aimee Mason and Emma Norris who both secured A*A*A. Aimee's impressive performance gains her a place on the highly competitive English and American Literature and Creative Writing course at University of Kent whilst Emma will be taking up a place at Queen Mary University to read Mathematics with Business Management. Twins Kellie and Aimee Barker clocked up 6 A*-B grades between them and will both be taking up places at University of Kent, although Kellie will be studying Sociology whereas Aimee has opted for Hispanic Studies.
International Baccalaureate students gained an average point score of 30, well in excess of international averages. Top performer Fathema Rahman achieved a score of 38 which is worth more UCAS points than 4 A* grades at A level. This score places Fathema in the top 8% of students in the world. Fathema is looking forward to taking up a place at Queen Mary University to read Law. Other high scoring IB students include Charlotte Turner, who has gained a place at Exeter University, just a year after her sister Savannah left Braintree Sixth Form for the prestigious University of St Andrews and Abbie Vickers who will be reading Accounting and Management at University of Essex.
Co-Directors of Sixth Form, Sarah Steadman and Kate Stubbs are thrilled with the results, 'We are delighted to see so many of our students achieving academic success. The number of them securing places at top universities in these competitive times is testament to both their hard work and the support of parents and staff.' They are both looking forward to welcoming a new group of Year 12 students to Braintree Sixth Form – enrolment will take place from 9am on 21st August.
