The Buckingham School Sixth Form is beyond proud to celebrate an exceptional set of A-Level and BTEC results, establishing itself as the destination Sixth Form for students wanting to join a culture of high aspirations and outcomes, with staff who know, challenge and care for all their students.
Students and staff have worked tirelessly over the last year to secure an increase in A-Level and BTEC equivalent grades at A*-C from 66% to 81% and an increase in A*-A attainment from 16% to 24%.

Headteacher Mr Andy McGinnes said:
“The Buckingham School has built a Sixth Form with a flourishing reputation. We believe passionately in The Buckingham Way which expects our Sixth Form students to demonstrate Exemplary standards, personally and academically. It’s fair to say that these results reflect the very best of our wonderful school, and are the product of the hard work of both our staff and students. We are bursting with pride - well done everyone!”
All of our students deserve specific mentions for their successes and for what they have overcome, personally and academically. However, to highlight a few exceptional success stories:

Director of Sixth Form, Mrs Beaumont, added:
“Over their time with us in the Sixth Form, not only have this cohort of students shown a commitment to developing their characters and becoming a part of our school community through their leadership and mentoring work, their academic efforts have been unwavering. They have set a standard of work ethic for those following in their footsteps and have been an inspiration to us as a school. We talk in Sixth Form about being Exemplary; about doing better and being better. These results have truly underlined what we mean by that. Our students are set now to open doors and explore their futures without barriers, and we look forward to hearing about the success of them all.”
