MORE than 90 students at Budehaven Community School celebrated last Thursday when the school obtained some 'outstanding' A-level and BTEC examination results. Around 37% of this year's results are A* and A grades. Headteacher, David Barton was over the moon with the achievements of the students. "Once again we have seen three quarters of all our results being graded at C or above. However, this year we have also seen a big increase in the number of A* and A grades. So many students have done extremely well, and they are justifiably proud of their successes. I am thrilled that 60% of all the A-level grades are B or better, and many of the students following BTEC and other vocational based courses have achieved distinctions and distinction* grades." Most Budehaven students are moving on to university, and the vast majority has achieved the grades necessary to attend their university of first choice; those moving into employment and apprenticeships have all gained the grades required to secure their places.
