Celebrating BSB Students’ Exceptional A-Level and IGCSE Results
British School of Bucharest (BSB) is thrilled to share that our Year 13 students have once again achieved exceptional A-Level results, showcasing their remarkable academic excellence and dedication. With 14% of grades at A*, 38% at A*-A, and 88% at A*-C, BSB students are exceptionally well-prepared to advance to some of the world’s most prestigious universities.
Reaching New Heights in Academic Excellence
The outstanding achievements of our students reflect the dedication and effort invested by both our learners and their educators. At BSB, we are committed to providing an exceptional education in a vibrant and supportive environment. This commitment supports our students in growing their confidence, cultivating their character, and acquiring a broad range of skills, equipping them to excel and make a meaningful difference in the world.
Jason Porter, Head of Secondary, commented: The A-level results day always brings a lot of mixed emotions. It represents the culmination of a life of schooling and a turning point in the lives of the young people who have been in our care at BSB, some for many years. This year at BSB was no exception, as students gained places at colleges and universities of their choice from all over the world. Staff were on hand in school to congratulate them, but also to offer support and guidance. Our students should feel rightly proud of these results, as should our teachers and parents who were with them every step of the way. The results speak for themselves, not only exceeding UK national averages but also placing BSB in a very strong position when compared to non-selective UK independent day and boarding schools. Well done to our graduating Year 13 students, and best wishes for your future!
Journeys to Top-Tier Universities
The remarkable accomplishments of BSB students have paved the way for them to attend leading universities around the globe. Year 13 graduates will be enrolling in prestigious institutions across the United Kingdom, including the London School of Economics, the University of Warwick, Durham University, the University of East Anglia, University of St Andrews, and Royal Holloway, University of London. In Europe, they will continue their studies at Aalto University (Finland), Bocconi University (Italy), NABA (Italy), Humanitas University (Italy), TU Delft and Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands). Additionally, some will be pursuing their education further afield at Western University (London, Canada) and UC Santa Barbara (USA).
Philip Walters, University Guidance Counselor, said: Congratulations to our students on their results! I am delighted that the vast majority of our students are now placed at their first-choice university. It is a privilege to support our students in their applications to higher education, and we are proud that many of them received multiple offers, often from more than one country. This enables them to determine what is the best fit for them from a wide array of options. This year, our students received offers from universities in Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA, which once again demonstrates the impressive global reach of our students.
Chloe Millward, Head of Key Stage 5, reflected on this journey, stating: Our students’ journey through Sixth Form has been marked by extraordinary growth, both academically and personally. This year group has shown remarkable resilience, having faced the challenges of completing their GCSEs during the pandemic and adapting to online learning just two years ago. Achieving such outstanding results in the face of adversity is no small feat. It has been immensely rewarding to witness their transformation into confident, distinctive individuals who are now fully prepared to embrace the challenges of higher education and beyond. Their success is a testament not only to their determination but also to the unwavering support of their teachers and families. We take great pride in each student’s accomplishments and eagerly anticipate the remarkable futures that lie ahead.
Impressive IGCSE Success Sets the Stage for A-Level Excellence
This year showed another very strong set of IGCSE results at BSB, with 27% achieving the highest grade and 38% within A*-A. An impressive 88% of grades were A*-C, and some of our highest-achieving students earned grade 9s in over eight subjects. These outstanding results put our students in an optimal position to make the best start possible for their A-Level courses in Year 12 this year.
Congratulations once again to all our students and recent graduates on their outstanding achievements! We eagerly anticipate their future successes and are confident they will continue to excel and make a meaningful impact!
