Bridgnorth Endowed\u2019s class of 2020 is celebrating an\noutstanding set of GCSE results with a mixture of joy and relief, following an\nunprecedented period of school disruption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are students who came into the year looking forward to\na significant educational milestone, only to find the usual rites of passage wiped\nout by COVID-19 in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, teachers have praised their perseverance as they continued working diligently during the lockdown to provide further evidence to prove their attainment and fill any study gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, their significant efforts have been rewarded with some exceptional grades, allowing them to take the all-important next steps towards their post-16 education or training choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s school leavers are now poised to study a range of courses at popular destinations, including Shrewsbury Colleges Group, King Edward\u2019s in Stourbridge, Thomas Telford Sixth Form and Telford College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the successes at Bridgnorth Endowed was star student, James\nLitchfield, who achieved an impressive eight Grade 9s and one Grade 8, with\nplans to move on to King Edward\u2019s in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special congratulations also go to Anthony Simpson, who is due\nto study A Level French, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology at Thomas Telford,\nafter gaining four Grade 9s and five Grade 8s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amelia Reynolds achieved four 9s, two 8s and three 7s, and Fabian Stallard-Gorton, who also received an excellent set of results, is off to King Edward\u2019s to study A Levels in Maths, Chemistry and PE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other inspiring stories include Lucy Leith, who has secured\na highly sought-after place at Birmingham\u2019s BOA Academy to study Performing Arts,\nand horse-enthusiast, Elle Brickley, who will do A Levels at Shrewsbury with\nambitions of becoming an equine vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small group of students will be embarking on a variety of exciting apprenticeship opportunities, such as Alfie Edwards, who will train with Shrewsbury-based gunmaker Midlands Gun Services while completing an engineering qualification at The Marches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headteacher, Mr Worth, comments: \u201cI am exceptionally proud of our Year 11s for the positive way they have conducted themselves, despite missing out on so much in their final year of school.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d also like to give my heartfelt thanks to our teaching staff who have worked extremely hard, and endured many sleepless nights, to make sure they got the right results for each student.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
