  • Year 7 Kent Cup

    Published 29/09/23

    Leigh Academy 2 vs Borden Grammar 4

    Our amazing Year 7s made it two wins in two games with a 4-2 win away at Leigh Academy. The boys started off a bit shaky conceding two early goals. However, they showed they don’t only have exceptional footballing ability, but the composure to not panic and carry on playing the way we want to play. We dominated the game and were creditable winners in the end booking our place in the next round.

    I am very excited to watch them grow and develop as a team and have no doubt we will have a very strong season.

    Shout out to Finley F scoring all four goals and Miles S for some excellent saves to keep us in the game.

  • GCSE results to make us proud!

    Published 24/08/23

    There is no doubt that, as a result of the pandemic, this cohort of students have had significant challenges in their journey to receiving these GCSE results. The Department for education and Ofqual has stated that grades this year will return to pre-pandemic grading and that national results will therefore be significantly lower than the last two years. Despite all these extra demands, we are very pleased to report many outstanding results from our year 11 students.

    Overall our students should be proud of achieving some very impressive results, with 36% of their grades being at the highest level of grades 7 to 9 (A/A*/A**) with half of that number receiving grades 8 and 9. (A*/A**). A special mention should go to the 42 students who achieved 5 or more top grades and the 10 students who very impressively achieved 10 top grades or more. Only a very small percentage of grade 9s are awarded nationally each year and so a special mention should go to the students who achieved over half of their grades at the very highest level. Nicholas H, Patrick H and Ife F who achieved 7 grade 9s and Dominic O who achieved 5 grade 9s. 

    89% of students achieved 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or more (a ‘strong pass’) including both mathematics and English, which is a significant jump from previous examination years at Borden. Overall, 95% of all student outcomes were at grade 9 to 4 (A* to C). This represents excellent outcomes by a cohort of students who have displayed immense levels of determination and resilience during the course of their GCSE studies.

    We are enormously proud of the achievements of all of our students under such challenging circumstances and wish them the very best of luck as they move on to pursue their future choices.

  • A Level Results 2023

    Published 17/08/23

    Following the cancellation of their GCSE exams in 2021, this summer was the cohorts first experience of formal external examinations. The Department for education and Ofqual has stated that grades would return to pre-pandemic grading and that national results will be lower than last summer. Despite these extra demands, we are really pleased to report some outstanding results by our Year 13 students.

    There are 14 students who achieved at least three A grades across their three or four subjects, these students are Ruben B, Will C, Harrison D, Kristian D, Toby D, Lily D, Max E, Callum F, Tommy F, Kyle H, James H, James L, Beck M and Joshua V. Of these students the very top performers were Harrison D - A*A*A*, Kristian D - A*A*A, Toby D - A*A*A, Lily D A*A*AA, James H - A*A*A*A*, James L - A*A*A*A* and Beck M - A*A*AA.

    Overall the students achieved really strong grades with 52% of all grades awarded at A*-B which represents excellent outcomes by a cohort of students who have displayed immense levels of determination and resilience during the course of their A level studies. These results allow the students to successfully move on to the next stage of their education or careers. Students have successfully secured places at top universities including Cambridge, Warwick, York, Bath, London School of Economics and Political Science University of London and Kent. Other students have secured apprenticeship and degree apprenticeship opportunities at local companies as well as blue chip companies in London.

    We are very proud of the success of our students and wish all them the very best of luck as they move on from Borden.
