A Level Results Update

Students Have Achieved 100% A* and A  In A-Level Further Maths.

The Barclay School is celebrating the best A level results for three years, showing significant improvement across all key performance indicators.

The overall pass rate for A level was 95%, with 70% achieving grades A* to C and 45% A* to B. Almost all students were thus able to access their choices for university.

This is particularly good news in the light of the national context of new A level courses and the focus on final exam performance.

There were a number of individual notable successes with Jordan Barber achieving A*AA to read Astrophysics. Jade Burroughes A*A* A* to read History, Lucy Brinkley ABB to read Politics, Tom Davies A*AB to read Maths. Ethan Murrill A*AA to read Engineering, Bethany Nobbs A*A* B to read Psychology, Charlie Powell A*A*B to read Aerospace Engineering, Caitlin Sharp A*BB to read English.

Notably, the Maths department are  celebrating 100% A* and A results for Further Maths.

Headteacher Mark Allchorn said:

“I’m delighted with the well earned success of all students at Barclay School. The individual results mean that students can move confidently to  the next stage of their career. I’m particularly proud that students have worked hard with the staff at Barclay to make the very most of all their opportunities in what has been a very challenging year.”

These results are the first national benchmark of Barclay’s journey back to good. We look forward to further developing the academic success of our sixth form students in a new Sixth Form Centre to be opened in 2018.

Headteacher’s Welcome

Dear Parent/Carer and Students, 

Welcome to the Barclay School’s new website.

It’s my privilege to lead the Barclay School on its journey back to good.

The school’s main aim is to develop our students’ potential to the full and to help them grow into successful, caring and respectful young people. In order to achieve this, Barclay provides a safe, supportive environment within which student’s academic, cultural and emotional needs are met. The school motto – “believe, achieve, exceed” – underlines the opportunities for all members of the Barclay community. There is outstanding pastoral support so that our students are able to engage with the curriculum, make progress and enjoy what the school has to offer.

We are ambitious and set ourselves challenging objectives. This is an exciting time for Barclay as we are improving the quality of teaching and learning. Our dedicated and hardworking staff team have a real commitment to ensuring that students have the opportunity to make progress and enjoy success. The Ofsted inspection report, published in October 2016 clearly identified where the school must improve and suggested what needs to be done to achieve a good rating once more.

We set high expectations and, as a result, our students are smart, well behaved and respectful. They have many opportunities for enrichment, both in school and through a range of educational visits, to enhance the learning in the classroom.

I hope that you find this website helpful and invite you to visit the school so you can see us in action. We look forward to meeting you.

Mark Allchorn, Headteacher
