Birkenhead High School Academy is delighted to report that students have achieved outstanding A Level and BTEC results this year.
An impressive 42% of all grades awarded were A*/A or Distinction*/Distinction at BTEC. Our average grade at A level is a grade B.
A large percentage of students will now be moving on to Russell Group Universities, having gained their first choices. There were many examples of individual success stories, but to name a few;
Seren Saul – A,A,A,A, will study Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Cambridge;

Lucy Wickstead A*,A*,A*, heading to the University of Birmingham to study Politics and International Relations, and Amy Williams (who also created a number of fantastic murals around the school) gained A*,A*,A* will be studying Post Production and VFX at the University of Salford.
Others with equally impressive results are hoping to move onto apprenticeships or a range of employment opportunities. (Some results above include AQA Extended Project Qualifications – we were extremely proud of the students’ success in following their own interests to this level.)
Birkenhead High School Academy
Some of these students have been part of our school community since joining nursery at age 3, with others joining our Sixth Form after GCSEs.
In spite of worries created by negative stories in the press, almost all BHSA students gained their first choice places.
Rebecca Mahony, Principal, said, “We are so proud of our students’ achievements this year. They have shown great determination and resilience throughout an incredibly tough and disrupted few years. Huge thanks to all staff and parents for their amazing support throughout.”
If you would like to be part of our success story, we are still open to application for a place in the 6th Form.
