Students celebrate GCSE exam results
Snowdon Village is a multi-site alternative provision that supports some of Bristol’s most vulnerable children.
When children start at Snowdon Village, they have often been out of education for some time – years in the case of some. Those sitting their exams at SV have either been excluded from mainstream schools or have complex learning needs which mean it makes it difficult for them to thrive in a mainstream setting.
Despite the many challenges the children face, the children across Snowdon Village have done well in their exams again this year and 100% of the Year 11 cohort have secured a place in further education.
Key headlines:
Children have earned GCSEs in English, maths, science, history, geography, citizenship, business studies and art, as well as vocational qualifications in hair and barbering, PE, construction, catering and childcare.

Principal Alex Davis said: “I really enjoy this day and taking time to celebrate the achievements of our children and staff. Today is all about reflecting on the progress the children have made since joining Snowdon Village and taking time to pause and look forward to their future.
“I’m thrilled that 100% of our Year 11 cohort have secured a positive destination, despite – in many cases – personal challenges they have faced in their lives. I’m also pleased with the academic outcomes and the number of children who have achieved so many qualifications.
“The grades the children go home with today is of course extremely important but – for me – it’s about making sure the children are happy when they are in school, and they feel like they belong and have the agency to dictate their future – whatever they choose to do with their lives.
“We are all extremely proud of every single one of our children and look forward to hearing how they get on in the autumn term. Congratulations Year 11.”
