A Level Results 2024 15 August 2024

Students and staff at BMS are celebrating today with a set of A Level results which shows an uplift in the top grades achieved pre-pandemic. Half of all grades achieved this year were A*- A with an impressive 21% marked at A* and 43% of students receiving three A grades or better. 12 students have secured places at universities across the country to study medicine with an additional two taking veterinary medicine and science. Three have secured places in universities overseas while a number have accepted degree or other apprenticeship opportunities with such companies as Dyson, DHL and Barclays.

Four students, Prarthana, Ellie, Adam and Finn each achieved a clean sweep of four A*s and they will all be taking up places at either Oxford or Cambridge Universities in September. Having studied Economics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Further Mathematics at A Level, Prarthana spoke of her success and said: “I was relieved and delighted with my results. I have enjoyed the wide range of opportunities available here at BMS and I would like to thank my teachers for all they have done for me. I’m looking forward to studying Economics at Cambridge.”

Adam was equally delighted with his suite of top grades for Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics and History A Levels and added: “I’m incredibly pleased with my results. BMS is a great environment in which to study and achieve. I am now particularly excited to begin my degree in PPE at Oxford.”

Headmaster, David Payne, said: “Those receiving their A Level results today were the first cohort of students to sit their GCSE examinations post-pandemic and they should be extremely pleased with their achievements. I would like to praise their resilience and offer them my personal congratulations as they begin the next chapter of their lives. Their rounded education at Bedford Modern School leaves them well placed to continue their success in the future.

“I would also like to commend the staff who consistently go the extra mile for their students and who ensured that a BMS education continued uninterrupted even during turbulent times. The support, encouragement and care they show for their students is unparalleled. My sincere thanks to them all.”
