There have actually been no A
level failures at Bartholomews since summer, 2003. Our percentages
achieving grades A or B at A level and those achieving grades A, B or C at
GCSE, over the four most recent academic years are as follows:
Candidates re-taking A levels
will be advised on the number of units they should attempt in order to gain
the grade increase they require. Given a well-motivated student without
serious syllabus complications, we would expect at least one grade
improvment per A level on a one-term re-take course. Improvements for those
on one-year courses, and occasionally also on one-term courses, have
sometimes been quite spectacular.
