Jumping for joy! BACA College celebrates fantastic student success stories

Students at BACA College, a proud member of the Aldridge Education network, are celebrating a remarkable year of success with their A Level exam results. Over the past two years, these dedicated students have demonstrated immense determination and hard work, supported by the unwavering commitment of their teachers, coaches and staff. Their efforts have culminated in outstanding achievements across the College’s various disciplines.

In particular, students pursuing courses in Sport, Digital Media, and Business have excelled, with the majority surpassing their target grades. The Digital Media program saw exceptional outcomes, with students achieving a minimum of Level 3 Double Distinction, underscoring the College's strength in fostering creative and technical talent. Sport and Business students, too, have showcased their acumen, achieving grades that open doors to their top university choices and career aspirations. 100% of BACA College Applied General and Technical students achieved at least their target grade, with the majority achieving significantly higher than their targets.

Moreover, BACA College is thrilled to announce a 100% pass rate across all creative A Levels, including Art and Photography, reflecting the institution's commitment to nurturing artistic excellence. The Construction Academy, offering specialised training in Plumbing, Carpentry, and Multitrades, also achieved a 100% pass rate, highlighting the comprehensive and high-quality education provided at BACA College.

With 100% of university applicants securing their first-choice offers, BACA College continues to empower students to achieve their academic and professional goals, setting them on a path to future success. The entire college community celebrates these accomplishments and looks forward to seeing their students thrive in their next chapters.

While all students have performed exceptionally well, some of the standout individual achievements include:

· Leo Woolgar-Golds, who is heading to to study Sport and Excercise Science at Manchester Metropolitan University after receiving an A in A Level Art, Distinction in Sport and Distinction in Sport Science.

· Frankie Cripps, our Cricket Academy Captain, who has accepted a place to study Sport and Excerise Science after receiving D*DM in Sport and Sport Science. He was unfortunately unable to collect his results on Results Day as he was representing Sussex Cricket in the 2nd XI! A huge succces all round.

Jack Davies, Principal at Brighton Aldridge Community Academy, said:

“This is really what it’s all about – and looking around at the pride, excitement and pure joy amongst our students today is the best feeling. Just knowing some of challenges that they have faced, and seeing what they’ve achieved in the face of those obstacles – it makes their success all the sweeter. I’d like to say a big thank you to every single member of BACA - our teachers, support staff and wider school community - for the incredibly important role they’ve played in setting up our students for their happy and successful next steps.”

Leo Woolgar-Golds, A Level Art, BTEC Sport and BTEC Sport Science, said:

"I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received at BACA College. Studying A Level Art alongside BTEC Sport and BTEC Sport Science was challenging, but the dedicated learning support and close-knit community made all the difference. The smaller college environment meant I always felt connected, and I knew there was always someone to turn to when I needed help. BACA College has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals and prepare for the future."
