There has been an increase in performance across a range of subjects and a rise in the percentage of students going on to university this year compared to last year, with some students opting for professional or vocational apprenticeships.

Principal Simon Underwood said: “We are extremely pleased with the students’ efforts this year, we are all very proud of their achievements. Under difficult national circumstances the academy’s community have represented themselves with integrity and professionalism. We will continue to support the students at every level and ensure they have the pathways they deserve.

“The range of high-quality destinations indicates the hard work of the students and dedication from the academy’s staff. It is also important to recognise the commitment and support from parents and carers alike.

“To see our young people move to destinations of their choice is very satisfying, we wish them all the best in their next endeavours.
