Corby Business Academy is celebrating yet another set of positive GCSE results.
Today's results have revealed impressive pass rates of 90 per cent plus in a wide variety of subjects, including Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Sport, Textiles, Cambridge National Science and IGCSE English Language.

Executive Principal John Henrys said: "We are very pleased with the progress our students have made since their arrival here in Year 7.
"We have had fantastic results in a variety of subjects, including Business, Dance, Science, Textiles and Travel and Tourism.
