Staff and pupils at Bredon School are celebrating after winning a prestigious award for academic achievement at Advanced Level.

The School won the award from the well respected Good Schools Guide for its Business Studies results at Level 3 in the new Vocationally Related Qualification - the equivalent of two A Levels. The award was for the best results by boys at an English independent school.

The awards reflect the success that pupils achieve in each particular subject compared to other examinations they take and the popularity of each subject compared to other similar schools.

Bredon School Principal David Keyte said: “Last year the School was awarded three Good Schools Guide awards at GCSE Level. It’s a great achievement to build on this and I am delighted that we have won this award at Advanced Level. It reflects the ability and dedication of our teachers as well as the hard work of our students.”

Ralph Lucas, Editor of the Good Schools Guide said “Each year we explore the English A level and GCSE examination data looking for schools where the results in individual subjects shout out that here is some really special teaching - and then we give the best of them awards.”

Bredon School has 244 pupils, aged between 7 and 18, and is based around the historic Pull Court mansion at Bushley near Tewkesbury. It welcomes pupils of all abilities.
