Bridge Academy GCSE 2023: Year 11 students at The Bridge Academy in Lichfield, part of the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership (ATLP), have been busy receiving the results of their GCSEs today.
A total of 94 per cent of the students who were at the school for the whole of Year 11 achieved four GCSEs or more.
Headteacher, James Morris, said: “I am really proud of our students, and these are some really secure results. In Art & Design, for example, the phenomenally creative and unique work of students was recognised, and this is testament to the talents and hard work of those students.”
He added: “We are at the end of another year, and I thank our staff, students and families for their support. We look forward to the year ahead, being part of the ATLP and continuing to serve our families and communities.”
Exam Results advice
Waiting for and receiving your exam results can be an anxious time.
Young minds, the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people’s mental health, offer advice for young people feeling anxious and nervous about your results.
Here are some top tips:

Contemplating University Clearing?
Going through Clearing to get into a university isn’t always a bad thing.
People who didn’t get in to their first choice university went through Clearing and were often accepted to better universities than they originally planned.
In some cases, even those who achieved their target grades went through Clearing because they decided they wanted to go to a different university than they had initially applied for.

Take it slow
Moving onto the next step is a very personal thing, so giving yourself time to breathe could give you a whole new perspective.
Try not to make decisions in the heat of the moment. Take as much time as you need to work out your next steps, and ask for help if you need it.
