Bethany pupils are celebrating another strong batch of GCSE results which once again puts them comfortably above the national picture. Our hard working pupils have achieved the highest ever proportion of A* and A grades.
Twins Hannah and Ruth Marsden from Tenterden obtained 18 A* and A grades between them. Other high performing pupils included netball star Amy Tucker, budding director Jack Wood both from Tunbridge Wells, imaginative artist Nicholas Brockwell, accomplished singer and pianist Alexander Fuller from Tenterden, talented actor Brendton Theunissen from Etchingham and all-rounder Jack Whitaker from Tonbridge.
Francie Healy, Headmaster said…
“I am delighted with the record breaking achievements of our high performing pupils. I am equally impressed with the diligence and determination of those pupils whose sustained efforts have been rewarded with B and C grades at a time when it is increasingly difficult to secure them. At Bethany we believe in the education of the whole child both inside and outside the classroom. We look forward to pupils further developing the breadth of their talents as they embark on the sixth form courses."
