More Exam Success

Hot on the heels of superb AS and A level results  last week, were fantastic GCSE results yesterday.

In year 11 many students exceeded their expecations and targets, at every level, from A* through to G.

Especially noteworthy are the three students who all achieved the new A* Distinction grade in their GCSE Further Maths.  They (and others) are now looking foward to studying Maths and Further Maths with us at A level.

129 Year 10 students also got GCSE Statistics results yesterday.  This is the largest number of studetns we have ever entered for this exam, and it was our best ever year of results, with the most A*s ever achieved, and the highest A*-C rate.

Congratulations everyone.

Year 13 Revision (on Study Leave)

Dear Year 13.

On Friday 1st June you "leave school" and are officially on study leave!   You are of course welcome to come and see us right up until the exam to get any help and support you want and need.  You're welcome to come and see us after the exam for a gossip too!

Here is our Year 13 / frees schedule. You are welcome any time, but at these times we are definitely available.




Don't forget you can also follow @JBSMaths on twitter for help over half term...

Congratulations

... to Alex Jack and Lydia who got their GCSE Results today.

They took their full GCSE Maths early in November, having taught themselves most of the course, and being supported by the Maths team.

Their A* results (all of them) is a reflection of the hard work and attention to detail they showed in preparing for their exams.

All three will now be sitting the new GCSE Further Maths course in the Summer, and we look forward to their continued success in their mathematical studies!

Well done!

Well Done Y13

Thursday saw The John Bentley School Maths department achieves its best A Level results ever!

In total our students (6 of whom are pictured above) achieved....

1 A*, 8 As, 4 Bs, 1 C and 1 D. These results are not only a significant achievement in themselves, but beat both their personal targets and school targets.

In addition this was the first year group at John Bentley to study for Edexcel AS level in Further Maths, acourse that is rapidly growing in popularity at school.

Results for Further Maths were ...

2 A's, 1 B, 1 C, and 1 D. Students achieved these Further Maths results in just 1 lesson a week, with significant amounts of independant learning and hard work.

One student worked even harder than the rest, and taught himself A2 Level further maths, including the Further Pure 2 & 3 modules! Despite having to do most of the work independantly James managed to not only achieve an A* in maths, but and A in Further maths.

All of our students worked really hard over two years, and deserve the fabulous results above. Despite being involved in many other things both in school and out, such as Duke of Edinburgh awards, many being Head Students, and sporting commitments they never let anything get on the way of their studies.

Well done!
