On Thursday, August 25, hundreds of Cabot Learning Federation Year 11 students at schools across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset, celebrated exceptional 2022 GCSE results.
Steve Taylor, CEO of Cabot Learning Federation, said: “There is a strong mood of celebration across the Cabot Learning Federation. After two and a half years of disrupted external examinations and high uncertainty, under the stewardship of our dedicated team, our students have shown remarkable resilience and are being rewarded with some very positive results. They have secured excellent destinations and I sincerely hope they can now move on into the next stage of their learning journey, confident in the knowledge that there will be few barriers they won’t be able to overcome in their bight futures. Well done to all.”
Here are our 2022 GCSE results from across Cabot Learning Federation:
At Broadoak Academy we are delighted to announce that students have achieved very strong exam results as our improvement journey continues. 61% percent of our students achieved grades 9-4 in English and Maths, and 40% of our students achieved grades 9-5 in English and Maths, a significant increase from 2019.
This is down to the hard work, dedication, and resilience of our wonderful students, as well as the unwavering support of our parents/carers, and the formidable work of our staff in doing everything they can to support our students to these outcomes. A huge thank you to everyone – our hard work, our togetherness and community spirit are bearing fruit!
Danny McGilloway, Principal of Broadoak Academy, said: “I could not be prouder of the way in which our students have conducted themselves throughout the whole examination season. Our results today are the end product of two years of challenging times, but five years of hard work and dedication. Our young people truly are amazing, and I take my hat off to them, to their families for their ongoing support, and to our staff for their endless endeavours to support our young people to achieve the best they can, setting them up for the next stage of their journeys. This truly is a wonderful community to be part of and today we can share and celebrate success across our community.”

It has been an incredibly difficult time for the Snowdon Village students receiving their results today. We all know how much the pandemic has disrupted education but this hasn’t stopped our children showing extreme resilience and perseverance with their learning. Staff have been working hard with the students, families and post-16 providers to ensure every child has a positive destination. We are delighted to announce that 100% of children have got a post-16 placement in September.
Alex Davies, Principal of Snowdon Village, said: “I am incredibly proud of the students who will be collecting their exam results today. Many of the children we work with have been out of education for many months – sometimes years – and seeing the progress they have made both academically and emotionally is truly inspiring. Every child is leaving SV with a qualification and 100% of our children have secured a positive destination at Post-16. The journey our children have been on is incredible and I am proud of each and every one of them. I would also like to pay testament to the hard work of the staff who have supported the children to make such good progress during their short time with us at Snowdon Village. The staff have worked tirelessly during a very difficult period in education and should feel proud of what they have helped the children to achieve.”
Students who have notable academic achievements include Riyan and Corey, who celebrated strong passes in English and maths, Tyreke, Tyronne and Devonte who achieved well in Science, Art and maths respectively, and Hasan who made exceptional progress in English and maths.
Two of our students, David and Nicole, have been offered prestigious apprenticeships at HMRC which will be starting shortly, and every single student from Snowdon Village has secured a strong destination for the next academic year.
As an inclusive provision, working with young people who change school during their Key Stage 4 experience, we are particularly proud of the progress each of them has made in their time at Snowdon Village. There is a great deal to celebrate today.

Bristol Metropolitan Academy students have been rightly celebrating their outstanding achievements this morning. For the first time since Summer 2019 we have seen a “normal” GCSE results day following what has, of course, been an anything but normal 3 years. Year 11 students collecting their GCSE results today have not had an uninterrupted school year since they were in Year 8. They have had to constantly adapt and react to the changing world around them and the challenges created in the wider world as well as in their schooling. Despite all of these challenges the students, supported by their families and teachers, opened their results and started the next phase of their educational journey.
The academy is celebrating excellent exam results, with over 80% of students achieving a pass grade in both English and Maths.
Cameron Shaw, Principal of Bristol Met, described the atmosphere on site this morning as overwhelmingly positive, which is testament to this cohort of student’s attitude throughout the pandemic.
He said: “I am of course delighted with the results of the academy; they are testament to the hard work, dedication and commitment of our students, their families and, of course, the staff in the academy. I wish every one of our outgoing Year 11 the best of luck with the next stage of their education.”
Worthy of special mention at BMA are:
Natasha, 11 GCSE overall with 4 at Grade 9
Scout achieving 7 GCSE Grade 9s out of 10 GCSEs in total
Noah and Isabelle achieving 6 GCSE Grade 9s each
The staff and academy councillors of King’s Oak congratulate our Year 11 students who today received their GCSE and BTEC results. Their excellent grades are the result of hard work and commitment across the five years of their secondary education. Like all schools, our Year 11 cohort experienced disruption to their learning throughout their GCSE course at King’s Oak; to their credit, and with the support of their parents and carers, friends and the staff at King’s Oak they have taken the challenges that resulted from the pandemic in their stride and showed great tenacity and resilience to ensure that they achieved their full potential in each programme of study. We wish all of our students the best for the future and look forward to hearing of their successes as they move into Post 16 learning.
Katherine Ogden, Principal, said: “This is an important day in our community and we are all very proud of all of our Year 11 students who have much to celebrate and be happy about. Our primary focus now is to work with each family to make sure that their child is securely on a Post 16 course that will help them make their next step in life. We know that both the CLF P16 and our local colleges will be very lucky to work with them next year.”
Worthy of special mention at KOA are:
Megan Bennett and Tatiana Black – Grade 9 English
Cameron McKechnie – Grade 9 Chemistry

The results in the creative and vocational subjects, which underpin the specialist curriculum at Digitech, have been excellent again this year.
Chris Ballard, the school’s interim principal, said: “We want to congratulate all of our year 11 students and are extremely proud of all their work, achievements and outcomes especially after such a difficult and disrupted two years. The students have shown passion, commitment and resilience in their studies throughout their time here at Digitech and it has been great to see lots of smiling faces this morning as students secure the grades that they worked so hard for.
