MATRIC RESULTS
Here are the highlights of the academic results for the class of 2024
This was the first year that Bishops matrics could opt to take the Cambridge curriculum, with
19 writing A Levels rather than the National Senior Certificate examinations. The overall NSC results
are thus incomparable to previous years; they reflect the performance of a cohort of 133 boys instead
of the full class of 152. Below is a report on both the NSC and the Cambridge results.

The school is extremely proud of all these results, notably the grades
achieved by the first cohort of Cambridge boys, and congratulates every
boy on his achievement. Thanks go to all their teachers, whose guidance
and motivation made such a big difference – and to the parents, family
members and Bishops community at large for their support.
A-WHAT?
Cambridge International
Education is an
internationally recognised
curriculum offered in more
than 160 countries around
the world. Highly regarded
globally by universities, the
curriculum places emphasis
on mastering subjects
in depth, and provides
targeted skills development
for future study and work.
Bishops now offers the
Cambridge Advanced
programme, in which
learners transition from
NSC after completing
Grade 10, to do Cambridge
AS Levels in Grade 11, then
continue into Grade 12 to
complete their A Levels.
Applications for Grade 10s
open at the end of Term 2,
and acceptance into the
programme is determined
by performance in the
Grade 10 June exams. The
shift from Grade 10 NSC to
AS Levels is academically
challenging, because the
curriculum presents a more
advanced level of study
that requires good time
management and a great
deal of independence.

A Levels is available at
