Pupils, staff and families at E-ACT Ousedale School are celebrating a strong set of GCSE results that continue the school's high standards and commitment to academic excellence.
Over three quarters of pupils achieved grades 9-4 in both English & Maths with a quarter of all grades being 9-7.
This year's outcomes represent another significant milestone in E-ACT Ousedale's ongoing success story, with pupils achieving impressive results across a wide range of subjects and making excellent progress from their starting points. The results reflect the determination and resilience of the Class of 2026, together with the unwavering support of staff, families, and the wider school community.
The success comes at a time when increasing numbers of families are choosing E-ACT Ousedale for their children's education, recognising the school's strong academic performance, broad curriculum and commitment to helping every pupil succeed.
Among this year's many success stories are:
Liesl who achieved 11 top grades - six grade 9s (including a 9 in English, Maths and Chinese) and five grade 8s. She will go on to study Biology, Chemistry and Maths at E-ACT Ousedale 6th Form and has aspirations to study Medicine.

The vast majority of pupils will now progress to E-ACT Ousedale's 6th Form - which last week was confirmed again as the top performing 6th Form in Milton Keynes - while others will move on to college courses, apprenticeships and a wide range of exciting opportunities.
Paul McFadden, Headteacher at E-ACT Ousedale School, said:
"We are incredibly proud of our Year 11 pupils; they have shown real determination, ambition and resilience throughout their time at E-ACT Ousedale, and these results are richly deserved. Their success reflects not only their hard work and commitment, but also the exceptional support and high-quality teaching they have received from our dedicated staff.''
"What is particularly pleasing is that these outcomes continue the strong progress we have made as a school. Year after year we are seeing pupils build on an established tradition of success, achieving strong outcomes and accessing an ever-growing range of opportunities. E-ACT Ousedale has become the school of choice for many local families, and today's achievements reflect the high expectations and aspirations we have for every pupil. Whether our pupils are progressing to sixth form, college or apprenticeships, we are excited to see what they do next and know they have bright futures ahead of them."
Tom Campbell, CEO of E-ACT, added:
" Congratulations to pupils at E-ACT Ousedale School on their GCSE results. This is a moment to recognise the effort that has gone in from pupils, staff and families alike. We are proud of what these young people have achieved and look forward to seeing what they go on to do next.”
