The number of A*-B grades achieved at A-level is 62.7 per cent – which the school said is a fantastic achievement for ‘an institution that prides itself on being ‘open access’ and non-selective in the students it takes’.
Prospective students can study A-levels at BHASVIC if they have achieved six GCSEs with a mixture of A* to C grades in at least four different subjects and including English Language or Maths.
