Examination Results 2017
Bethany School is justifiably proud of the results achieved by its pupils year on year. We applaud the achievements of our dedicated teachers and committed pupils.
Bethany draws its pupils at all levels of the School from a deliberately broad ability range. We believe that all pupils who are capable of obtaining good, national qualifications should be allowed to do so. We also believe it is important that our results are viewed in this light.
