“I warmly congratulate our Year 11 pupils and I would like to thank our committed staff and parents for their valuable contribution to this great achievement.”

“Brighton College Dubai pupils have exceeded expectations and demonstrated that they are capable of the highest standards at GCSE. The College is celebrating another year with the vast majority of its cohort continuing on to the Sixth Form.”

“I have no doubt, given their kindness to each other and their mutual respect and determination to do their best, that they will make a fantastic contribution to society and will take the Brighton spirit with them in the next phase of their lives.”

 

Jane Clewlow, Head of Senior School, Brighton College Dubai, said:

“I am thrilled with the performance of our Year 11 pupils in their GCSE examinations.  In the face of the adversity and challenges posed by a global pandemic, this cohort of pupils have continued to challenge themselves to be the very best they can be.”

“They have worked together as a team, supporting each other, throughout their journeys thus far at Brighton College Dubai.  It is testament to their passion for learning and their motivation to succeed that, despite interruptions to their education over the past three years, they have achieved such impressive results.”

“They all have their own stories to tell and we will continue to support them on the next phase of their journeys as the vast majority will move onto their A-Level studies in our impressive Sixth Form.”

“The fact that 50% of the GCSE grades awarded were Grades 8 and 9 and 72% were Grades 7 and above will provide an outstanding foundation for their Sixth Form studies where they will continue to develop as College leaders and role models exemplifying the core Brighton values of kindness, curiosity and confidence.”
