The Grangefield Academy

What a brilliant morning celebrating our students! 💜

Results day brings so many different emotions, but whatever results you received today, be proud of how far you have come and everything you have achieved along the way.

There is no single route to success, and today is just the beginning of your next chapter. We are incredibly proud of every one of you and wish you every success as you take your next steps.

Well done, Class of 2026, you did it! 🎉

A reminder that GCSE Results Day is tomorrow! 💜

Students can collect their results from the academy between 9am and 11am.

We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating all of your hard work and achievements.

Do well, everyone! ⭐

✨ Year 11 Prom 2026 ✨

On Wednesday evening, we had the privilege of celebrating our incredible Year 11 students at their Prom! A special evening marking the end of one journey and the exciting beginning of another.

As they leave The Grangefield Academy, they do so with our pride, our support and our belief in everything they are capable of achieving. The future is full of opportunities, and we can’t wait to see where their ambitions take them!

Remember to dream big, work hard, be kind and never stop believing in yourselves. The world is waiting for your talents, your ideas and your determination.

Thank you for being part of Team TGA. We are so proud of each and every one of you, and wherever life takes you next, we wish you every success and happiness 💜

This week, Y10 Students visited the University of Oxford as part of the Catalyst Programme. Students experienced life at the University, with tours of the City of Oxford, St Catherine's College and the Natural History Museum. The visit also provided students to experience Debate style questioning and to answer the bigger questions life may ask of them.

The visit provided students with opportunities to explore further education and to think about the steps they can take to move towards future careers that they are interested in.

Miss Jackson and Mr Starrs are exceptionally proud of all students invited, and that they embraced their own interests and focusses for future careers.

Free School Meals

From September 2026, all families receiving Universal Credit will be eligible for Free School Meals.

You could save up to £495 per child, per year.

If you think you may now be eligible, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

💇 Introduction to Hair & Beauty

📅 Available on:
• 21 & 22 July (9:00am–3:00pm)
