Post 16 results from the Summer 2015 were validated by the government in February 2016. They have been confirmed as an outstanding set of results which puts Burnside 6th form in the Top 15% Nationally for Vocational progress (number 1 in North Tyneside) and Top 25% Nationally for Academic progress.
Progress is the number 1 benchmark for OFSTED in deciding the effectiveness of a school’s teaching and learning. It is based on every individual student’s prior attainment and how much the school has added to and build on that in order to get them the best result possible.
We are delighted with the results and it shows especially how we cater for students across all subjects that they can take at A level here. Indeed, we are one of only two schools in the whole of the North East who are Top 20 for both of these measures, showing how difficult it is to be achieving so highly in both of those areas.
As well as fantastic progression routes to both University and higher apprenticeships, Burnside 6th form is clearly an outstanding option for continuing with further education in North Tyneside.
