Headteacher, Miss Ryan, said, “It is lovely to see so many students achieving a wide variety of destination routes. I am extremely proud of each of their accomplishments and hope they will come back to tell us of their future successes.”

Ms Dunton, Head of Sixth Form, said, “We are so proud of the students for their amazing achievements this year – particularly so as this was their first experience of externally set exams and  they undertook a significant part of their studies online during lockdown. It is fantastic to see so many of them securing places at prestigious universities and degree apprenticeship providers, as well as many who have already started employment. I have no doubt that they will go on to achieve further successes in their future and look forward to hearing all about those.”

Our students said,“ I am absolutely over the moon! I’m now off to university and will miss everyone at BSF”; “I’m so thrilled with my results. I would like to thank BSF as a whole and especially my teachers”; “I’m overwhelmed and so happy; I am so proud of myself!”
