Over 61 Per Cent of Bristol Students ‘Pass’ GCSEs

There’s been big changes to GCSE results this year, with exams graded 9-1 instead of A-G on a much tougher curriculum.

Provisional results for Bristol show that over 3000 students took the exams in the city, with 61.8 per cent managing the pass rate of grade 9-4.

Already results appear better on paper, with this being up on last year’s numbers where only 59 per cent of students managed the government’s ‘pass’rate. Progress 8 results won’t be available until later in the year.

“With so much change in the exam system this year our students have had to overcome many trials to succeed and I wish them all the best with whatever they plan to do next,” Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol said.

“There are many different options available to young people, whether it’s starting a vocational course, continue studying for A-levels or take the first steps into the working world. We want to see everyone able to succeed in Bristol so I’d encourage young people to talk to friends, family and teachers about what they want to do next. To those who are disappointed with their results I’d say don’t give up – you can still do well in the future.”
