00:00 Benjamin Mulvaney, how did we do?
00:02 Yeah, really well.
00:03 What were the results?
00:04 Eights and nines and then a seven and two sixes.
00:07 Brilliant, congratulations.
00:08 And how does that compare with expectations?
00:10 Yeah, really happy with them, as to what I was expecting really.
00:13 Excellent. And what's the plan from here on in?
00:15 Going to six homes, staying on at St Aidan's.
00:17 And what would you like to do?
00:18 Maths, Physics and further Maths.
00:20 Brilliant, thank you very much.
00:21 Anne-Marie Whidden is the Deputy Head here at St Aidan's School.
00:25 How have we done?
00:26 We've done incredibly well.
00:28 We're really proud of the outstanding achievements of our boys this year.
00:31 We've got outstanding results, despite the challenges that they've faced through COVID.
00:35 We're incredibly happy with the hard work and dedication that our boys have shown.
00:39 We've got some incredible achievement, with a 30% of all grades being 9-7,
00:44 which is the old A*A.
00:46 We've got 91% of all our pupils got a 9-4 in English.
00:51 We got 77%, got the strong pass of a 5+ in English.
00:55 So again, just incredibly proud of the hard work that they've done.
00:58 We've even got some fantastic maths results,
01:00 despite some of the national press predicting poor boys' performance.
01:03 We've got 30% of our boys got a 9-7.
01:06 And we also of course have a fantastic EBAC support in our school.
01:10 So our boys got 72% completing the EBAC.
01:13 And within that, we've got some students who got three languages.
01:16 So again, we're just incredibly proud of the excellent work that they've put in.
01:19 And we know that this is all just intentional, nothing happens by chance.
01:22 This is hard work from our community, from our students and our staff.
01:26 Adam McKenzie, how have we done?
01:30 Really good, happy with what I've got.
01:32 What did you get?
01:33 I got 7's, 8's and 9's across the board, and one 6 in Spanish.
01:37 Excellent, congratulations. And what's the plan from here on in?
01:39 I'm going to continue on at St Aidan's and St Anthony's sixth form
01:42 to do maths, business and economics, and hopefully further maths.
01:46 And what does that do in the long run?
01:48 I'm going to look to go into accountancy, I'm going to do an apprenticeship first,
01:51 and then hopefully build on from there.
