In a year when Bedminster Down School was delighted to retain its Ofsted ‘Good’ rating, it is also celebrating its best set of GCSE results for a number of years.
Headteacher Louise Davies said, ‘The students who are receiving their results today were in secondary school for only a few months when Covid hit and we went into lockdown. They have confronted enormous challenges.
It’s therefore all the more impressive that they have done so well this year. We’re delighted that the hard work and determination of our young people has paid off. We hope our students feel proud of all that they’ve achieved as part of the Bedminster Down community.’
