GCSE’s: Banbury and Bicester College
12/08/2021
100% pass rate for those taking standalone maths and English
This year has seen a great set of GCSE results for students at Activate Learning’s Banbury and Bicester College. 100% of those taking standalone maths and English achieved a pass.
Many of the college’s GCSE students are learners who resit maths, English or both, to continue in education or progress their career. These include mature students who need these GCSEs to progress in their careers, learners who may have missed the chance to go to university first time round and want to study at degree level and also part-time students who have studied GCSEs at evening classes.
Sally Dicketts CBE, Chief Executive of Activate Learning, said: “Congratulations and well done to those of you picking up your GCSE and level 2 results today. You have managed, under difficult and changing circumstances, to stay focused on your studies and have I hope obtained the grades you were wishing for.”
Abbie Frankham, a Health and Social Care student, is celebrating a grade 8 in English language. Abbie said: “I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed, getting this result feels great and really exciting. I only started in January, so I didn’t have as much time as everyone else, but the hard work has paid off.”
Morgan Young, an Engineering Level 3 student, secured a grade 6 in English language. He said: “I’m very happy with my results, it means I’ve achieved the grades I need to start my apprenticeship in steel fabrication!”
