GCSE Results 2026: Celebrate with Brymore Academy students
Brymore Academy celebrated another strong set of GCSE results, with headteacher Stefan McHale expressing pride in the students’ hard work, maturity, confidence and resilience. Ollie W achieved three grade 9s in Landbased Studies, Engineering and Science and plans to pursue Nuclear Engineering after T-levels at Cannington College, while former headboy Ethan W will attend Strode College for A levels. Landbased Studies was especially successful, with 94% of students achieving the equivalent of grade 4 or higher and three pupils attaining the equivalent of grade 8s. McHale stressed that the students’ friendships, independence and wider experiences were as important as their grades.
