Batley Grammar School’s Year 13 students have once again achieved outstanding A level and AS with students passing 96% of all subjects taken and 65% of entries being grade C and above.
The top performer of the year undoubtedly is Wei Jie Jin, who repeated his excellent exam performance of 2008. Last year he not only achieved A level Mathematics in a year early but topped the scorebooks when he scored 100% in all six modules. In addition to this he has 3 further A grades to add to his performance in Further Mathematic, Chemistry and Physics and will be taking his place to study Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial College London. This is a remarkable achievement considering Wei Jie Jin only entered Batley Grammar School to study in English less than two years ago.
Alexander Bembridge, a year 12 student from Huddersfield, has followed in Wei Jie Jin’s footsteps gaining a Grade A in Mathematics also a year early. He too is aiming to study Engineering and hopefully at Cambridge in October 2010.
