We are delighted to have achieved 17 of the ‘super’ Grade 9s, which are equivalent to getting an A**. A fifth of drama students achieved a Grade 9. 

There were also noticeable high performances in Art and Design, Sport and BTEC Engineering. 

The following students should be congratulated for their exceptional results:

  • Leah Andrews: Grade 9 in Geography, Grade 8s in Art, Science, English Language and Maths
  • Becca Bagge: Grade 9 in Georgraphy, Grade 8s in Science, English Literature and Maths

David Astin, Executive Principal of the Academy, said:

“I simply could not be any prouder of our students, who put their best forward in their examinations and have achieved a great set of results. They worked very hard and I am also grateful to their teachers and parents who supported them every step of the way. I look forward to seeing our outgoing Year 11 shine in their A Levels and beyond.”
