Young apprentices in Chichester pass with flying colours

All 15 of the boys who opted to take the course were awarded with their BTEC First Diploma in Business '“ equivalent to 4 GCSEs at grades A* to C.

Four students, James Atkin, Anthony Grice, Mohammed Rahji and Thomas Wulff achieved a distinction which equals four GCSEs grade A*.

"The BTEC First Diploma in Business is a challenging and demanding course for students and teachers alike," said Penny Mason, assistant lead teacher.

"It is delivered over six periods and is 100 per cent coursework based so students have to work consistently hard throughout the two-year course in order to achieve success.

"However for those boys who are prepared to work hard the rewards are high with a qualification equivalent to four GCSEs and a course that has prepared them well for their next steps in education or employment."

Year 10 and 11 pupils at CHSB took the Diploma in Digital Applications course which saw 94 per cent of pupils gain an A* to C grade which is worth one GCSE.

Pupil Gavin Harrison exceeded all expectations and was the first pupil in the school to gain all four of the course units and achieve the full diploma at distinction level, equivalent to four A* GCSEs.
