Kamila Y., who studied Maths, Additional Maths and Computer Science IGCSEs and Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English as a second language and Psychology GCSEs, achieved a grade 9 in Biology and said: “My Biology teacher has a unique way of making complex Biology concepts clear and enjoyable. His responsible guidance for the subject not only strengthened my understanding but also inspired me to explore science beyond the classroom. His constant support pushed me to aim higher and achieve more than I thought possible.”
Having completed the College’s one-year intensive GCSE programme, Mike L. achieved three grade A*s in his Additional Maths, Maths and Computer Science IGCSEs in addition to three grade 9s in Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSEs. After being awarded the OIC Brighton Sixth Form Scholarship in recognition of his academic performance, Mike will study A Levels in Maths and Physical Sciences at the College.
Tess St Clair-Ford, Principal at OIC Brighton, said: “This year marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the achievements of both our second ever cohort of students who have completed our two year GCSE programme as well as those who have completed the course in just one year. The results are a testament to their dedication and commitment as well as the ongoing support of their teachers and parents. Yet, beyond the results, our students’ achievements showcase their growth and ambition, and I look forward to seeing them continue their academic journey in September when they commence their A Level studies with us.”
OIC Brighton offers pre-GCSE, GCSE and A Level courses for both British and international students. In addition to this year’s GCSE results, the College is also celebrating the success of its first cohort of A Level students, with 71 per cent achieving grades A* – B and 30 per cent accomplishing three grade As or higher.
