HUXLOW ACADEMY, Irthlingborough
The first results are in, and here’s what Huxlow Academy staff are saying about this year’s cohort:
“These Year 13 students have shown great resilience and ambition over the last few years and today they received their results from the first formal examinations they have sat.
“They have achieved these results despite the huge disruption of Covid lockdowns, remote teaching and teacher assessed Key Stage 4 results, and deserve congratulations on their achievements in the face of these significant challenges.
“Year on year, Huxlow students achieve positive post-16 results across the wide range curriculum areas offered at TENC, and this year is no exception, with good grades achieved across the curriculum. BTEC vocational students performed particularly well in Sport and Applied Science.
“The vast majority of students who applied to University have accepted a place at one of their choices.
“Results have paved the way to courses such as law, English, history, illustration, fashion, mechanical engineering, [aramedic science, finance and event management.
“We also have students following a pathway to architecture, quantity surveying, civil engineering and professional policing.
“These successes are down to the hard work of both students and staff. We have offered high quality careers advice to ensure that all students have studied courses that are well tailored to their talents and aspirations.
“This has resulted in high numbers gaining entry to prestigious Russell Group universities as well as sought-after apprenticeships, further education and employment prospects.”

Kimbolton School students, families and staff are celebrating another fine set of A Level results from their 99 sixth formers.
Seventy percent of the grades were at A* to B, the level so closely tied to entry to the top universities, with 39% of these at A* or A. Eighteen students, almost a fifth of the year group, gained at least three A*/As.
Fin Peake received 5A*s while Annie Johnson achieved 4A*s. Fin will soon be reading Natural Sciences at Girton College, Cambridge, while Annie is moving to St Andrews to study Mathematics.
Dougie Bolger, a boarder from Japan, also achieved a full sweep with 3A*s and will be reading Mathematics at Warwick.
Others achieving at least 2A*s and one A were Toby Gray, Maciej Grzegorczyk, Ross Heylen, Alex Merchant and Harry Stewart Dilley. Toby is starting an apprenticeship in accountancy, while Ross is heading to Durham to read PPE. Harry will read history at Somerville College, Oxford, while Alex and Maciej are moving to Imperial College in London to study design engineering and electrical & electronic engineering respectively.
More than one in five of the year group have elected to undertake apprenticeships, enter employment or take a gap year, while the rest will now be heading to their universities of choice.
Will Chuter, Kimbolton School’s new Headmaster, commented, “While we have highlighted those awarded the highest grades, we are delighted to celebrate the achievements of all our departing students who have worked hard to take the first steps on their future pathways. Key to these results was the strong support from their families and our staff. We wish them every success for the future.”
