Patrick Berry, Headteacher, said: 

These results represent the culmination of the hard work and resilience of our wonderful student community and the outstanding support that they have received from our dedicated staff body. This cohort of students were the first since 2019 to sit the full suite of qualifications under ‘normal’ exam conditions and they have excelled themselves. Overall, the results this year are better than our record success of last year and there are a number of incredible individual performances. Our students now have exceptional futures ahead of them. These results could not be achieved without the constant support and encouragement of our parents community as well as from our dedicated governing body.

Lisa Pollard, Head of Sixth Form, said: 

I am incredibly proud of our Year 13 students and so happy to be able to celebrate with them today following their hard work over the past two years. They are a truly wonderful and inspiring cohort, and I am confident that each and every one of them will go on to achieve great things in their futures beyond the Billericay Sixth Form.  We wish each and every one of them all the very best for their next steps.
