GCSE Results Day 2024

3rd September 2024 GCSE Results 2024 Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School is delighted to celebrate the many outstanding achievements of all their Year 11 pupils in the GCSE examinations this summer. Mr Grant, Head of Year 11 at Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School said, “It is really pleasing to see that the GCSE headline figures are at 73% (70%, 2023) 7-9 and 49% (46%, 2023) 8-9. What the figures don’t show is all the effort, resilience and hard work, all the challenges overcome, for every one of our young people. We are very proud of them all.” Mr Robson, Headteacher, is delighted with the progress the Year 11 pupils have made: “Students and staff have worked very hard. Together, they have attained a great set of GCSE results. Our Year 11 students have been intelligently led by Head of Year, Mr Grant and Mr Goodwin, Deputy Headteacher i/c KS4 and well- supported by an excellent staff, parent and governing body.” It is very tough to achieve the highest grades at GCSE. Well done to the three pupils attaining straight top grades; Sai, Ryan and James – that’s a fantastic achievement. There were 47 students in total, who attained an impressive five or more grade 9s. “This Year 11 cohort have developed well as young men during their time with us. We are immensely proud of their hard work and achievements. They have played an active role in the life of the school community whether that be as prefects, or through their vibrant contributions to Vesey sports, music and drama. We are very proud of them all and we wish them the very best with their next step in education and training.” [...] Read more...

A Level Results Day 2024

3rd September 2024 A Level Results 2024 Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School is delighted to celebrate the many outstanding achievements of all their Year 13 pupils in the ‘A’ level examinations this summer. Our young people are going on to further study and training with a wide range of excellent universities and outstanding degree apprenticeships. This year, we are proud to announce that 81% of the grades awarded were at A*-B (80%, 2023) reflecting a significant achievement for our students. The Class of 2024 are going on to study such a broad and diverse range of subjects. From Aerospace Engineering and Acting to Spanish and Veterinary Science. The most commonly achieved grade by students was an A. It’s important to acknowledge the incredible effort and resilience behind these successes. While we celebrate these achievements, we are also mindful of the personal challenges and adversity many have overcome to reach this point. Our community is built on a strong sense of belonging – something that is so important – and it’s this supportive environment that helps our students thrive. This was supported by our recent Ofsted report, which affirmed this ethos, that “the school promotes the development of its pupils to become well-rounded, thoughtful adults.” To achieve straight A*s at A Level is a remarkable achievement requiring a huge amount of hard work and very high levels of consistency. Well done to the 21 pupils who achieved straight A*s; Usairam, Akshith, Karim, Esther, Luke, Jack, Aamina, Tom, Alex, Dominic, Rebecca, Kara, Muhammad, Mesmin, Amar, Martha and Joseph. And well done to Sam, Viraj, Aditya and Karum, who all attained 4 A* grades. This is a year group with so many great role models and inspirational pupils who changed our school for the better and gave so much to the local community. We are proud that our pupils exemplify thequalities of well-rounded individuals, balancing their academic excellence with extracurricular and charitable contributions. Congratulations to all our students for their hard work and success. We look forward to seeing them continue to grow and achieve in the future. Dominic Robson, Headteacher of Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School said: “We are immensely proud of the resilience, hard work and achievements of all our students. They have shown such impressive levels of maturity, and good humour, playing an active role in the life of our school community throughout their time with us, whether that be as leaders and mentors, through charity work or through their vibrant contributions to Vesey sports, music and drama. Our teachers are also to be congratulated on their hard work to ensure our pupils are able to progress onto further education and training. All our leavers are now ‘Old Veseyans’.

We look forward to celebrating all the achievements of the Class of 2024 at a special evening celebration for parents and leavers on 10th April 2025 at Sutton Coldfield Town Hall.” [...] Read more...
