Bedford Greenacre Independent School celebrates A-level success

The sixth form pastoral staff and our fantastic team of tutors would like to pay tribute to the enthusiasm and commitment of the class of 2026. Head of Sixth, Richard Woodward, said: “On behalf of the entire Sixth Form team, I would like to congratulate our students on an impressive set of A-level and vocational results. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and equally grateful for the positive contribution they have made to our community during their time with us.

“This year group has been a friendly, diligent and personable cohort whose kindness, resilience and determination have left a lasting impression on staff and fellow students alike. We will miss them greatly, but we know that whether they are progressing to university, apprenticeships, employment or other exciting opportunities, they leave us equipped with the skills, confidence and determination to thrive in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.

“We wish every one of them the very best for the future and look forward to hearing about their continued success in the years ahead.”

One hundred per cent passes were achieved from Grade A-C in English Literature, Sociology, Design Technology, French, Theatre Studies and Art. Results in Cambridge Technical Business Studies were excellent with many being awarded distinction and distinction stars.

We are proud of the achievements of all our sixth formers, but there are a few who deserve particular praise: Archie K, Toby S, Martha M, Will F, Mia W and Lorella C should all be congratulated on their outstanding results. There are others who have performed brilliantly from a value-added point of view including Tom D, Lewis G, George W, Jess S, Eva P, Lily E and Christiana K. It’s also very pleasing to see that the majority of our university applicants have been offered a place at either their first or insurance choices.

We are especially proud of those students who have achieved good value-added progress results (the progress from the point of joining Bedford Greenacre for sixth form, to going on to be awarded comparatively excellent results in their final examinations). For example, one student who scored an average of 3.56 at GCSE, went on to attain 160 UCAS points. As a non-selective school, we could see the potential of this student and were able to support them to achieve their best. This was just one of several young people who went on to surpass expectations based on prior performance.

Principal, Mr Daniel, added: “Sixth form is a critical phase in a young person’s development and here at Bedford Greenacre we pride ourselves on being able to support our students to reach their potential, both academically and socially. We wish this year’s cohort the very best for the future.”
