Results and Performance

Bradford Forster Academy students revel in record set of GCSE results

After much hard work studying and preparing, students at Bradford Forster Academy, which is part of Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust, are collecting their GCSE results that demonstrates their dedication and tenacity over the last two years.

Overall, the Academy has seen outcomes improve for the third year running with a 3 per cent rise in students achieving grade 5 and above in both English and Maths, with a 5 per cent increase in students achieving a grade 4 or above.

Subjects that saw particular success included Level 2 Sports Studies with more than a quarter of students achieving the highest grades and close to 90 per cent of students achieving a pass or above. BTEC Performing Arts (Drama) achieved similar levels to this, and both GCSE Art and Design and Design Technology have achieved in line with or higher than the national average for grades 7 and above. GCSE Science (dual award) achieved rates above the national average at both grades 5+ and 7+ and in line with national for 4+.

Bradford Forster Academy students are now looking forward to progressing onto their chosen further education institutions.

While all students have done incredibly well, there are some standout individual achievements. These include:

  • Zofia Bogacz achieved four grade 9s in English Literature, Science, Polish and Geography, the equivalent of a grade 9 in Health and Social Care and three grade 8’s in Music, Maths and Spanish.
  • Oliwia Turek achieved two grade 9s in English Literature and Science and four grade 8’s in English language, Maths, Geography and Design Technology.
  • Benjamin Enwemasor achieved two grade 9s in Science and Design Technology and three grade 8’s in Maths, English Literature and Geography.

Collecting his GCSE results today, Benjamin Enwemasor said:    
I’m feeling pretty good. I achieved better than I thought I might. I am really proud of my results.

 In addition to the amazing year 11s mentioned above, we are exceptionally proud to announce that we had a student in year 10, Nikodem Sandecki, gain his Maths GCSE a year early, and he achieved a grade 9! He is looking forward to doing his level 3 Maths qualification next year. Nikodem said:

“I feel amazing about getting my grade 9. I am looking forward to applying to the Leeds Mathematics school at the end of year 11 and this grade will help me to achieve my dream and progress in life. I want to thank Miss Whitehead and Mrs Box for helping me to achieve this year and I looking forward to getting my level 3 Free Standing Maths qualification next year.”

Gemma Earles, Principal at Bradford Forster Academy, said:      
“We are all incredibly proud of our students and what they have achieved. Since taking post in September 2023, I have been extremely impressed by their dedication and drive to achieve well. Each student has given their all to achieve their GCSEs, including attending interventions and putting in hours of revision at home. They are a credit to the school and we wish them all the best in the future.”
