At TBS students generally take four AS levels in Year 12 and 3 full A levels in Year 13.
Cumulative number in each grade
The graduating class of 2023 did themselves proud with a TBS record of 40% of A level grades at either A* or A and an average valued-added of two-thirds of a grade above their CAT predicted grades. Four students completed four subjects and the remainder of the cohort completed courses in the standard entry of three A levels.
Value Added Progress
TBS values the achievement of all students and whilst we celebrate students with the highest academic attainment, we put as much, if not more, priority on honouring students who have made the most progress compared to the baseline CAT data taken at the start of the AS courses.
Four students averaged more than two grades above their CAT predicted grades and a total of 14 of the 36 candidates averaged one grade higher than their CAT predictions in three or four A levels.
Attainment
Nine students averaged a grade A or higher in all of their three or four exams whilst the top student in 2023 achieved A*A*A*A in their four subjects.
University Destinations
The most popular university choices for TBS students in 2023 were the USA (9 students), the UK (8 students) and Australia (5 students). Five students received scholarships to US universities, including one full scholarship and UK placements included economics at the University of Manchester and Royal Holloway, London, aerospace engineering also at Manchester and history at St Andrews.
