Warwick Academy Students Excel In Exams

Warwick Academy announced their Sixth Form results from the recent summer examinations, with the school achieving “100% pass rate across IB Diploma candidates, a 100% pass rate across the IB Individual Subjects, and a 100% pass rate across the BTEC courses.”

Mr. Dave Horan, the school Principal, said, “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].

“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. 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% pass rate across our IB Diploma candidates, a 100% pass rate across the IB Individual Subjects, and a 100% pass rate across the BTEC courses.

“Significantly, and a first for the school, 6 IB Diploma students managed 40 or more points with 60% 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% achieving what they needed for their tertiary option.
