A LEVEL RESULTS

Students across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) have received their A-Level, Applied General, Technical and T results today, Thursday 15 August.

Exam Grades have been awarded to over 3,000 BCP students that have studied at colleges and sixth forms across our area.

Councillor Richard Burton, Portfolio Holder for Children, Young People, Education and Skills, BCP Council, said: “Congratulations to everyone who has sat exams and finished courses this summer. It’s a great achievement and I’d like to wish everyone the best for the future, whether they’re continuing in education or entering the workplace or taking some time out to think

“I would also like to express our thanks to all our teachers, lecturers and support staff who work so hard supporting young people through their educational journey."

Cathi Hadley, Corporate Director for Children's Services, BCP Council, said: “I am thrilled for everyone reaching this great milestone today and passing these very important exams.

“There will be those who are happy with their results but there will also be some who are disappointed because they haven’t got the grades they expected.

"For help, support and guidance, students should contact their education setting to help them make decisions about their next steps, whether it be into higher education or the workplace. There are always lots of other options available if their first choice is in doubt today."

Findings from today's results include the below:

  • 29.2% of BCP A-Level grades were A* or A above the emerging national figure of 27.8%.
  • In 2019 17.4% of BCP students got AAB or higher at A-Level. In 2024 27.5% got AAB or higher.
  • 93% of students completed their A-Level courses this year, an improvement on 2023.
  • More students completed Applied and Technical qualifications at BCP Sixth Forms in 2024 than in 2023. This increase in students taking A-Levels alongside a BTEC or National Certificate shows the breadth of qualifications on offer across BCP.
  • In 2019 only 162 students studied applied general qualifications in our BCP sixth forms. In 2024 this has risen to 374
