We celebrated some wonderful GCSE results today. There was a great atmosphere at the school as parents, teachers and young people gathered to acknowledge the achievements of the whole year group. The excitement as young people had their sixth form place at the academy confirmed or their apprenticeship secured was palpable.
We were delighted to see numbers of students achieving top grades but more importantly the whole school community was thrilled to see the achievements of our cohort who have worked hard and sometimes in difficult situations to ensure they can take their next steps. There was clear pride and joy in evidence at the academy today. Congratulations to all our students!
Students who achieved top grades across all subjects include Joe Ferrier, Lucy Evetts, Hannah Dyke, Alfie Cull, Sam Elliott, Sofia Kashoo, Sophie Machray, Trinity Ramsay, Elizabeth Walsh, George Ellis and Nico Rainbow.
The majority of students will be staying on at our Sixth Form to start their A-Levels whilst others will go to Hartpury College to study student Animal Care, Gloucestershire College to undertake a variety of vocational courses, Dean Close on a rugby scholarship and some are going onto highly sought after and competitive apprenticeships with local companies like Bromford Construction.
Kathleen McGillycuddy, Principal, said “Well done to the class of 2023 – we are very proud of you. You are tremendous young people, and we can’t wait to see you back here at sixth form.”
