• BRGS had another excellent set of GCSE results.

• The deputy headteacher, Dr Andrew Edwards said "This is the best ever GCSE summer for BRGS. 24.4% of all grades were A* and 61.5% were grade A or A*. 88% were grade B or better. 148 students passed 1782 exams with 97.5% being grade C or better. Students took an average of 12.5 GCSE subjects with an average point score of 624 compared to 570 last year.

These results are significantly better than the record breaking ones last year with students averaging 12 A*-C GCSE grades each, up 0.3 on last year. We are delighted with the overall success for the students which reflects their hard work and the drive by the staff to reform teaching and learning styles. We look forward to continuing the partnership into the sixth form and welcoming all students who will be joining us next week.”

In The Independent newspaper these results put us in the top 50 grammar schools at number twelve!
