NBP16 A LEVEL RESULTS 2021

The North Bristol Post 16 Centre is a collaboration between Cotham and Redland Green Schools. We welcome students from schools all over Bristol and the surrounding areas into our vibrant, diverse and industrious community.

This year, following the cancellation of exams, grades were awarded through a process of teacher assessed grades, against a national standard and approved and awarded by the exam boards. The government is not publishing performance data for any schools or colleges this year due to the varying impact of the pandemic.

Today has been a day of celebration, where we  have been able to congratulate  our students,  who have achieved an outstanding set of results. The incredible amount of hard work  invested by both our students and our staff to overcome the challenges of the past 18 months has been rewarded with this set of results and the pathways they will open for our Year 13 students. The large majority of our university applicants have secured their chosen courses, and we have also seen strong success with our students securing higher apprenticeships and progression pathways in the arts. We look forward to further successes and celebrations over the coming days. 

Assistant Headteachers Aimi Potter (Cotham School) and Owen Tiplady (Redland Green School) say:

 “We could not be more proud of the resilience and maturity our Year 13 students have demonstrated ever since they were notified of the cancellation of exams. The past 18 months have been incredibly tough for us all, but this age group really have been hit the hardest.

“Our students have maintained a positive outlook and shown both patience and ambition as we have navigated changes to the awarding of examination results and the impact of school closure and close-contact isolation. 

“It has been an incredible boost to be able to invite our students onsite today to collect and celebrate a set of results which they have worked so incredibly hard to achieve. We have been happy to share in their successes and excitement for the future in the many conversations that have already taken place. 

“For more than ten years, our schools have been working together, as the North Bristol Post 16 Centre, to make sure that every student has the opportunity, support and skill set they need to reach (and extend far beyond) their goals.”
