Bath Academy - Results Round Up 2021
Bath Academy students have excelled to achieve their academic goals, despite a challenging year of disrupted education. Every A-Level subject accomplished a 100% pass rate, with A*- B grades reaching 82% (12% above the national average).
A record high 87% of students received their first-choice university offers, with almost three-quarters of Bath Academy students gaining places at Russell Group universities including UCL, Edinburgh, Kings College, and Exeter.
The college’s One Year A-Level cohort also performed exceptionally well, with resit students improving by an average of two grades per subject in resit courses, and one student making a 6-grade improvement and gaining a place to study Pharmacy at UCL.
Bath Academy specialises in offering solutions to students feeling lost or unhappy with their current educational environment with students transferring from other schools in the area often exceeding all expectations. For example, James completed four A Levels and achieved four A* grades and is off to study Architecture at UCL. A one-year A-level resit student, Sophie, made a 5-grade improvement to reach her academic goals of studying Pharmacology at University of Bristol.
Medical and science-related subjects have been particularly popular this year, and with a strength and expertise in teaching STEM subjects at the college, 32% of Bath Academy students will be going on to study STEM and Health related courses at university including Medicine, Therapeutic Radiology & Oncology, and Pharmacy.
A record high 87% of students received their first-choice university offers, with almost three-quarters of Bath Academy students gaining places at Russell Group universities including UCL, Edinburgh, Kings College, and Exeter.
Tim Naylor, Principal at the college, is extremely pleased with the results and what it means for our students;
“We were thrilled to see all our A Level and GCSE students achieve the grades they so richly deserved. It clearly shows that all young people, with differing strengths and weaknesses, are capable of achieving so much more with high levels of personal support from their teachers, the inner motivation that comes from having a clear goal, and the experience of being valued as individuals.
We saw re-sit students make up to a 5 grade improvement on their previous grades, others achieving straight A* grades in four A Levels and almost everyone achieving more than they had believed possible. But grades are probably less important in the long run than the strengths of character that our students have developed in the face of a very challenging situation, rising from a felt minus to a felt plus. The development of these deeply personal qualities is what truly effective education is all about.”
