The Class of 2026 have achieved another excellent set of GCSE results!🌟👏

This morning, students, staff and families celebrated another fantastic set of GCSE results, with this year's cohort achieving some of the school's strongest ever outcomes across a wide range of subjects. This reflects the hard work, resilience and ambition shown by the year group throughout their secondary education.

Students performed strongly across the curriculum. In English, over 81% achieved Grade 4 or above, while nearly 79% secured Grade 4 or above in mathematics. Over half of students (51%) achieved a strong pass (Grade 5+) in both maths and English. Science outcomes were also particularly impressive, with more than 72% of students achieving Grades 4-9 in at least two sciences. There were also notable achievements among the highest-attaining students, with 27 % securing Grades 7-9 in English and 21% securing Grades 7-9 in maths.

Among the many individual success stories were Zak P, Jessica G, George H, Jack S, Joe H, Olivia C and Jason F who achieved outstanding grades (Grade 8+) across a wide range of subjects. In addition, Millie B, Emily S, James D, Anthony T and Lewis B all exceeded their target grades by an average of at least two grades in each subject. Their achievements exemplify the ambition, resilience and determination shown by this exceptional cohort.

Our Executive Headteacher, Mrs Joanna Lamb said:
"We are absolutely delighted with the achievements of our students. These results reflect an immense amount of hard work, determination and commitment over the past five years. What makes these outcomes especially pleasing is not simply the grades themselves, but the progress our students have made. Every student should be incredibly proud of what they have accomplished.

These results are a testament to the strength of our entire school community. I would like to thank our staff for their unwavering dedication and our families for the encouragement and support they provide every day.
Most importantly, I want to congratulate our students. Whether they are progressing to sixth form, college, apprenticeships or employment, they leave us equipped with the qualifications, confidence and character to succeed in the next stage of their journey."

We wish you all the very best of luck in your next steps!🍀⭐

We would like to congratulate our sixth form Class of 2026 on their exceptional achievements and the hard work, determination, and resilience they have demonstrated throughout their studies. One in every two grades awarded this year is at a B or above, reflecting excellent progress across all subjects. Our students' success reflects not only their academic ability but also their commitment to achieving their goals, and we are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished.

This year's results have enabled students to progress to a wide range of university courses and career pathways, demonstrating the breadth of talent across our sixth form. Among the many outstanding achievements, we would like to highlight the following students:

👏 Daniel S achieved an exceptional A* in maths, A* in further maths, and A in physics. Daniel will be continuing his studies at Durham University, where he will read engineering.

👏 Jess H achieved an A in biology, an A in chemistry and a C in physics. She will be studying biomedical science, building on her strong performance in the sciences.

Our vocational students have also achieved exceptional success this year:

👏 Evan R achieved Distinction* in creative media and Distinctions in both sport and business, an outstanding set of results that reflects his dedication and versatility across a range of disciplines.

👏 Matthew A secured two Distinctions and a Merit, enabling him to gain a place on a business course at Northumbria University.

These achievements are a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our students, the unwavering support of their families, and the commitment of our staff, who have worked tirelessly to help every student achieve their potential.

As our students move on to university, employment and further training, we wish them every success in the future. We are confident that they will continue to thrive, embrace new opportunities and make a positive contribution to their chosen fields. They will always remain a valued part of our school community, and we look forward to hearing about their future successes.
