Ben Baines, Principal at Montsaye Academy, said:

“I could not be prouder of our students collecting their results today. The development and growth in confidence I have witnessed in each and every student over the past academic year has been very rewarding. To see their determination, hard work and tenacity translate into some excellent results is particularly gratifying.

“It is a pleasure to celebrate these results with them today, and we are looking forward to welcoming many of them back in September to continue their studies with us in the Sixth Form at Montsaye Academy.”

Daisy said:

“I’m extremely happy with my results and wouldn’t have been able to achieve them without the wonderful teachers who have supported me and other students so much throughout the process, thanks to Mr Ronald, especially!”

Sky commented:

“In Year 8, I wasn’t even sure if I would sit my GCSEs, let alone pass them. The teachers in the past two years have helped me so much; without them, I wouldn’t have achieved the results I did today. I’m so grateful to them, and I’m beyond happy with my results.”
