Brooke Weston Academy is celebrating another successful year of Post-16 examination results. We are incredibly proud of all 139 students for their hard work, determination and perseverance over the last two years.

Shaun Strydom, Principal at Brooke Weston Academy said: “We are very proud of all our students who have worked extremely hard over the past two years. This cohort of students were impacted by the pandemic during their GCSE years and so for many, this will be their first exam season to complete. This is a tremendous achievement of which they should be proud.

I would also like to say thank you to all of our staff for the support and encouragement they have shown our students during this time and for continuing to provide a high-quality learning experience despite the circumstances.

Our curriculum and dedicated team of staff work hard to ensure our students develop a love of learning as well as the provisions to strive, which has been reflected in their results. We will be available to provide support and assistance to all students that require it in the upcoming weeks and wish our students every success in the future.”

Our top performing students include Sam Carr, James Cooper, Emily Cartwright, Grace Norman and Matthew Russell who collectively achieved 14 A* grades. Sam is off to the University of Warwick to study Mathematics. Matthew is also going to the University of Wariwck to study Medicinal Chemistry. Grace is hoping for a career in the Royal Airforce as an Intelligence Analyst and James has secured an apprenticeship with KPMG. All of these students have had an incredible experience at Brooke Weston and have made friends for life.

Students also amongst our top performers include Kevin Krasniqi, Rufus Matthew, Tawona Chitiga and Louis Bereton who achieved a grade profile of A*/A grades. All 4 of these students are off to highly prestigious Universities. There are a large number of students who achieved a grade profile consisting of A*, A and B grades, which is a tremendous achievement and many others achieved exceptional individual results.

We are incredibly proud that 4 of our students have secured places at Oxbridge Universities after achieving exceptional results. Blazej Puchala is going to the University of Cambridge to study Engineering after achieving 4 A*’s. Tilly West achieved 3 A*’s and an A and is off to the University of Oxford to study English Literature. Lilrose Kent achieved 3 A*’s and is going to the University of Cambridge to study History. Aaron Rawlins is going to the University of Cambridge to study Medicine. All of the above students have worked exceptionally hard during their time at Brooke Weston and we are delighted for them.

Over 80% of students this year are going onto university with the remainder opting for professional or vocational apprenticeships or gap years.

Some of our students have secured impressive apprenticeships with highly respected employers. Finn Short, who achieved 2 A*’s and 2 A’s, has secured an apprenticeship with RS Components whilst Luke Spinelli has secured an apprenticeship in Business Management with Amazon.

All the staff at Brooke Weston Academy are incredibly proud of our student successes and wish them all the best for their futures.
