GCSE Results
The GCSE cohort at the BOS has developed almost beyond recognition in the last few
years.
The number of candidates has grown from only six in 2005-6, to an annual average
of 20. Six years ago those candidates were taking an average of 8 subjects. Today,
that number is 10.
Over this seven year period, the BOS has consistently maintained high standards
in GCSE grades. Pass rates (A*-C) for the period lie at over 90%. Over half of our
grades have been at A*-A (53%), with a further 25% being at grade B, giving the
BOS an A*-B percentage of 78% for the period.
Our GCSE results for 2011-12 were, outstanding. 69% of grades were at A*-A, which
surpasses the figure for the whole of the UK (22%). 100% of BOS candidates gained
5 or more GCSE passes at A*-C (including English and Mathematics), which compares
very favourably with the overall UK figure of 59% and 76% in UK independent schools.
The BOS’s pass rate (A*-C) in Mathematics and English was 100%, which surpasses
the overall UK figure of 59% and that of 77% in the UK’s independent schools.

We congratulate all of our students and teachers for their success and hard work,
but we make special mention of Hamza Haleem and Haider Mandviwalla, both of whom
took 10 GCSEs and passed them all with A* or A grades. We would also like to congratulate
the BOS mathematics department for their achievements – all of their students passed
with A* or A grades.
