Over half of pupils in Economics (58%) and History (59%) achieved 9-7 grades, while 74% of Art pupils also scored 9-7 grades (the equivalent of A* or A).
Amongst the top performing pupils were Hattie Hiscox from Kingston who secured 11 GCSE’s at 9-7 including nine top grade 9’s, one 8 and one 7 and Skye Coetser from Forest Row who also gained eight grade 9’s, two grade 8s and one 7. Pippa Nunn from Mayfield achieved 12 grades 9-7 and Tom Lilley from Laughton also achieved 11 of the top grades 9-7.
Continuing Bede’s strong tradition of combining excellence in the academics and performing arts, Moon Ng from Eastbourne achieved eight 9’s, two 8’s and one 7, including a top distinction in BTEC Business, whilst also excelling as a pianist. Bede’s Legat Dance Academy pupil Freddie Whittingham from Tunbridge Wells achieved seven of the top 9 grades, one 8 and a 7, including a top distinction in BTEC Performing Arts alongside his wider dance training programme.
