Olympus Academy Trust A Level & Vocational Results 2022 including individual School reports

Olympus Academy Trust A Level & Vocational Results

We are delighted to share that learners and their families across all of our Olympus Academy Trust secondary schools are celebrating another year of positive results.

We are particularly proud of this cohort of learners as they have faced incredible disruption to their studies over the past 2½ years due to the Covid pandemic. These learners did not sit public exams when they were in Year 11 and so this was their first experience in secondary school of these national assessments. It is credit to learners’ resilience that despite this disruption, they have performed incredibly well and should be very proud that their hard work has paid off. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank their teachers and other staff who have played such a key role in supporting them during their time in Post 16. Thank you also to parents/carers for the vital role they have played in this journey.

Particular highlights we would like to share include:

Over 30% of grades at Bradley Stoke Community School and Winterbourne Academy were A or A*
Abbeywood Community School improved their percentage of A*-C grades by 16%
Over 100 learners took Maths A Level this summer and 48% of these were graded A-A*

We are always excited by the range of destinations that learners follow on leaving us and this year is no exception.

Across all of our schools we have seen an increase in the number of learners securing places at top Russell Group universities
More learners than ever have secured places on top degree apprenticeships
A number of learners leave us to take up places at the University of Oxford or Cambridge University

As announced by Ofqual in September 2021, overall A Level results will be lower this year than in 2021 when grades were awarded by teacher assessment. Grades will be higher than in 2019, when students last sat summer exams, in recognition of the disruption caused by the pandemic.

For vocational and technical qualifications (VTQs), grading is set by awarding organisations whose approach is broadly in line with that taken for GCSEs and A Levels, to ensure learners taking these qualifications are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged compared with their GCSE and A Level peers.

We wish all of our learners every success in their futures and will always be available to offer them support.

Olympus CEO, Dave Baker said: “The strong results achieved by Post 16 students across the Trust this year are of particular significance as they have come out of a period of adversity and challenge for learners who missed their GCSE exams and so much face to face teaching because of the global pandemic. I offer my congratulations to students and wish them all well in their next steps. Thanks also to all Olympus staff who have supported students to succeed.”
