Here’s our final round up of GCSE success stories and what our students are planning next:
Ben Beader (above) got two 9s, three 8s and five 7s. He said: ‘I’m feeling happy and I want to study A Level maths, biology and chemistry and eventually I want to study veterinary science at Nottingham University.

Jeremy Peprah was awarded two 9s, three 8s and four 7s. He said: ‘I am over the moon as these grades are better than I expected. I did a lot of revising.

I have been here since Year 7 and it has been a really good experience.’
Patrycja Dudzinska achieved two 9s, three 8s, three 7s and a 6. She said: ‘I am ecstatic. I worked really hard over the year and I was scared it wouldn’t pay off but I am really thrilled with all of my grades. I am coming back to study biology, psychology, chemistry and financial studies and maybe do psychology or medicine at university.’
Harvey Crawley is going on to an Army career, starting his basic training at Harrogate. He said: ‘I really enjoyed my time in the Brooke Weston Trust CCF so it just evolved from there. I liked all of it, you got to make friends with people from other schools and different backgrounds and we got on really well as you have the same passion for the same thing.’
Harvey Sneddon is going to college to train to become a PE teacher. He said: ‘I am most pleased with my PE and science grades, which were down to the support of Mr Hawksley and Mr Pape. It has been a very positive experience and I’ll miss BWA but I am excited to go on to college.’
