Year 11 Public Examination Results Thursday 24th August 2023

There was an air of celebration at TBS when Year 11 received their results today; staff, parents and young people gathered together to review successes (there were many!) and discuss options post 16.  As a year group they have done very well and should be extremely proud of their achievements particularly as grades nationally have returned to pre-pandemic levels, yet TBS and TBS students have continued to thrive.

Sally Wilson, Headteacher commented: ‘’It is important we commend students in this cohort for their calm and mature response to the rigour of studying 9 subjects (on average) which translates into approximately 25 examinations. The Class of 2023 should also be applauded for their commitment, focus and resilience dealing with the demands of the pandemic which included lockdowns and remote learning.  We also believe their performance will look strong against national averages which, given the headlines in the national press, is something to celebrate! Every single one of our students will have their own personal and special achievements, well done to them all.’’

Along with sharing the performance of our ‘high fliers’ we would also like to share the names of those students who have made significant progress since joining TBS, you will see some are also ‘high fliers’.
