Congratulations to our year 11 students who collected their GCSE results today.

Like with our A level results last week we saw record breaking results at the top grades at Burnside College – with a record number of grade 9s.

As you will be aware, this is the cohort of students that were in year 7 at the start of the pandemic, so were in year 9 before attending secondary school for a full year without disruption. Therefore we’re particularly delighted to celebrate their successes today.

Many of our leavers will be returning to our outstanding sixth form to continue their studies, and enrolment is now open. Whilst others will be moving on to alternative further education providers, apprenticeships or employment.

We are proud of the achievements of all of our students and would like to wish them all the very best in the future.
