RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE
We are proud of the achievements of the Class of 2025. The exam results were the best ever achieved by Bedford students, and continued the trend of significant improvement over the last three years.
This represents a tremendous achievement for both students and staff, who worked incredibly hard to achieve this level of success. A huge thank you must also go to our Year 11 parents and guardians who provided essential support and encouragement to their children, particularly during the past 12 months.
There were some outstanding individual achievements, with some students achieving Grade 7-9 in every subject. The vast majority of students achieved creditable results. We wish all our students the very best in their next steps in education, safe in the knowledge that they have developed the character and skills needed to excel in wherever their journey takes them.
