Brimsham Green School Celebrates Record-Breaking GCSE Results: Year 11 Students Surpass Expectations and Excel!

Brimsham Green School is proud to announce its best-ever GCSE results, with Year 11 students surpassing expectations and achieving outstanding success. Headteacher Kim Garland shared her delight, stating, “It is both a joy and a privilege to celebrate our students’ achievements today. They have not only met but exceeded our high expectations and excelled in their exams. Well done, Year 11! You’ve earned this moment of celebration, and we also extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents, carers, and school staff who have supported this collective accomplishment.”

Our students have truly embodied the school’s core values of aspiration, independence, and resilience throughout their GCSE journey, particularly in the intense lead-up to their exams. Their dedication was evident in the large numbers who attended 8 am revision sessions daily, and today, we celebrate the fruits of their hard work with the school’s best-ever results. Many students are now enrolling at Cotswold Edge to pursue their A Levels, marking the start of an exciting new chapter. With limitless opportunities ahead, we look forward to seeing what these talented young individuals will achieve in the years to come—this is just the beginning!”

We are especially proud to highlight the achievements of our highest performers. Congratulations to Eve Jenkins, who achieved an exceptional 11 grade 9s and 1 grade 8. Equally impressive are Emily John, Matilda de Nobriga, and Zack Wigginton, who together secured 16 grade 9s and 12 grade 8s. Additionally, we commend Krysztof Zieleniewski and Thomas Clee, not only for their outstanding results but also for making remarkable progress since their KS2 SATs. A special mention goes to Daniel Cox, whose GCSE results averaged three grades higher than predicted by his primary SAT scores. Among the girls, Kara Mildren, Zara Piggott, and Chloe Poole also excelled, achieving results two grades above expectations.

We also want to acknowledge the exceptional achievements of those students who have excelled despite facing significant challenges and personal adversity. Huge congratulations to Rita A, Dawn A, Paris A, Chloe J B, Paige B, Zuhair F, Maddie H, Dain I, Darcy R, and Kostya S. Successfully progressing onto Level 3 courses is a remarkable accomplishment, and we are incredibly proud of their determination and success.
