WA: 'We Achieved An Excellent 100% Pass Rate Across Our IB Diploma candidates, IB Individual Subjects & BTEC Courses'

Warwick Academy’s Principal, Dave Horan, is today beaming with pride following the school’s announcement that senior students achieved 100 percent pass rates across the board.

“It is with much celebration that we formally announce to our school family our summer 2021 examination results across our various offerings – the International Baccalaureate [IB], the Business & Technology Education Council (BTEC) courses, and the International General Certificates in Secondary Education (IGCSEs),” said Mr Horan.

“Our Year 13 and Year 11 students faced the most challenging two years, and on top of that a last-minute cancellation of examinations in Bermuda and the move to a ‘non-examination route’. Whilst this was done with tremendous disappointment, when reflecting on the examination successes we must be very pleased with the outcome.

“I am deeply proud of every one of our students and greatly respect what they have achieved in the face of unprecedented circumstances,” he added.

“They have shown much resilience and flexibility and their achievements go wider than what is reflected in these results. My sincere congratulations to all our Year 13 graduates and Year 11s and we look forward to following their progress next year.

Sixth Form Results

“We achieved an excellent 100 percent pass rate across our IB Diploma candidates, a 100 percent pass rate across the IB Individual Subjects, and a 100 percent pass rate across the BTEC courses,” said Mr Horan.

“Significantly, and a first for the school, 6 IB Diploma students managed 40 or more points with 60 percent of students across the cohort achieving 36 or more points. We also enjoyed many Individual Subject candidates achieving 30 or more points. Our average point score for the IB Diploma is 36.3 which is well above the world average of 33 points, a ‘best ever’ for Warwick Academy, and what we understand is a ‘best ever’ for a school in Bermuda.

“We often talk about the various pathways available to students in our Sixth Form and that our most important measure is their success in gaining admissions to the best Universities & Colleges around the world. Again, our graduates did not disappoint with 100 percent achieving what they needed for their tertiary option.

“We know how much work goes into the build-up to their final examinations and the disappointment that came with the sudden change was very tough. Once again, my congratulations to all on a job well done.

“Finally, I thank our staff for their dedication and expertise in supporting the sudden move to the non-examination route, and their efforts in what was a very challenging year.”
