Badminton School’s “innovative individuals” awarded impressive A Level results

Badminton is a community of innovative individuals as reflected once again by their eclectic mix of strong outcomes. An impressive 83% of all grades awarded were at A*-B, with over a third of the Year Group achieving straight A*-A and 12% achieving three or more A* grades. All pupils studying Art, French, Latin and Religious Studies are also celebrating these departments’ straight A*-A achievements.

The varied future pathways Badminton students will follow reflects their ability to determine their unique journey. Not only are Henrietta and Arina from Bristol celebrating achieving straight A*-A, with Henrietta off to read Economics at Exeter and Arina Natural Sciences at Cambridge, but both also found time to follow interests more widely. Henrietta gained a Distinction for Grade 8 Piano along with a Leiths award in cookery, whilst Arina achieved Grade 7 Flute, with a merit for her ESB and an A in her EPQ.

Underlining the range of strengths seen at the School, keen Geographers Isla and Phoebe from Bristol and Nicole and Natalie from Hong Kong, led the School’s commitment to working for a better planet through their involvement in the InterClimate Network, Climate Voices Summit at Westminster where they were the team winners of the ‘Leadership Award’.  Inspired by all they have learnt both inside the classroom and beyond, 3 of the girls will be off to university to study Geography with Phoebe taking a gap year first to carry out environmental work. A significant number of the Year Group are also off to study STEM subjects: Chloe, who gained straight A*s said,  ‘I am very excited to  study Civil Engineering at Imperial next year and thank all the teachers who inspired me at Badminton.’

Badminton girls also gained places on courses at a range top universities both here and overseas including Fine Art, Medicine, Economics and History, as well as Law at Oxford.

Mrs Tear, Headmistress, said: ‘This was a Year Group which led the way in so many aspects of School life and pioneered an innovative approach to all that they did both inside and outside the classroom. These pupils are ready to pursue their ambitions in a range of different areas at top universities and I look forward to seeing them make a difference in the world.’
