In a joint statement from Heads of School, Simon Underwood and Nicola Treacy the results were summarised “We are pleased and keen to acknowledge that many of our students now have the attainment grades to pursue their next pathway.”

“The subject area gains in attainment are a good foundation for the students themselves and also for the Academy as a whole.”

“Again, the biggest success stories have come from those who have combined efforts between students, staff and parents or carers.”

“The Academy will continue with its drive for further improvements and we wish all our young people the best in their next destinations.”
