The Billericay School GCSE Exam Results 2023 - Year 11
In what is without doubt unprecedented times for our students we have seen phenomenal results this year. In years which have seen challenge after challenge we have still seen our students achieve fantastically and continue to walk into their next destinations, very many gaining entry into our own significantly oversubscribed Sixth Form, with a fantastic set of highly covetable academic results. This year we have seen our Most Able achieve extremely well with many in the top 1% in the UK. And The Billericay School has outperformed all national averages at grade 4 and 5 on attainment for English, Mathematics and Science meaning so many of our students automatically achieve their Sixth Form and College offers. We have seen some fantastic results including Mathematics, Art, Biology, Physics, Statistics and Sport Studies all outperforming national averages by quite some way.
With so many achieving the ‘door-opening grades’ of passes in English, Mathematics and Science, we know many of our students will gain entry into their first choice destination. And, with so many achieving the top gold standard 7-9 grades, we know that our Sixth Form will continue to be amongst the very best as they begin their journeys towards University and beyond with us.
We couldn’t be prouder of every student that worked so very hard. A huge thank you to those parents who supported throughout 2 lockdowns and our staff who worked tirelessly to help make every second and every mark count.
Headteacher, Mr Patrick Berry, said:
Our school is so proud of our fantastic students. This cohort have had to show unique resilience to return to a full public examination schedule despite the disruption of the last 3 years to their education. The challenge to teenage mental health and wellbeing has never been greater and there have been some incredible individual performances.
