Students at The BRIT School celebrated incredible vocational and academic achievement at Post 16  and Key Stage 4 - above national average.  At Post 16, students commit to a rigorous curriculum specialising in a performing or creative arts UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma, which is equivalent to 3 A Levels and some students also undertake additional A Levels. We achieved above national benchmarks for the number of Distinctions achieved for the UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma and an uplift in A Level results from 2022.

UAL Level 3

353 students, 74% of the cohort, gained a Distinction at UAL which is the highest possible grade and is the equivalent of three A*s at A Level. This is a 4% increase on 2022 results. Over 230 students got into the top universities and vocational schools of their choice including RADA, Bristol Old Vic, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Guildhall, Mountview and Trinity Laban. Students will also study broader subjects including Primary Education, Business Management, English and Anthropology. 

Students are also pursuing careers in a diverse range of areas; we have students starting apprenticeships and internships with a varied range of organisations across the creative industries. Two year 13 students embarking on their careers are Nathan Bannister (a Film & Media Production graduate) who is starting a year long Internship with the partnerships Team at 02 Virgin Media and Marie Powell (an Applied Theatre graduate) who has just started a year long internship with Radio 2.

Congratulations to the students and thanks to all the staff.

A Levels

The BRIT School also had exceptionally strong A Level results including:

• 78.0% A*-C grades (increase of 4%)

• 47% A*-B grades (increase of 2%)

Key Stage 4

At Key Stage 4, 30% of our students have achieved grades 9-7 across all GCSE subjects which is above the national average. The Core subjects have triumphed including an astonishing 98.5% achieving a 4 or above in English, 86.7% achieving grade 4 or above in Maths and 78.4% achieving grade 4 or above in Science. In the Performing Arts 94% of students gained the top grade of Distinction. 

A noteworthy mention to Chloe Chaffin who gained a Distinction in RSL Level 2 Theatre, GCSEs all at grade 9-8 and a grade 8 in Further Maths and Holly Morton who gained a Distinction* in NCFE Level 2 Tech Award in Interactive Digital Design and all GCSEs at grade 9-7 and a grade 9 in Further Maths. 

Stuart Worden, The Principal said: 

“It has been a joyful time for The BRIT School. Over 350 Post 16 students are graduating with the best results the School has ever produced. These grades will open up doors for over the 230 students who got into the top universities and vocational schools of their choice and those choosing other routes into work. This is remarkable. And our Key Stage 4 students have gained outstanding grades. We are so proud of all of them. They have done so well in English, Maths and Science. Congratulations, breathe it in and we wish them all the very best and hope they hold strong on the BRIT values of kindness, responsibility, ambition and originality in the paths they take.”
