Young people at Malcolm Arnold Academy 'delighted' with exam results

Students and staff are celebrating at Malcolm Academy, part of the David Ross Education Trust, as students receive their GCSE and BTEC results.

Year 11 students sat their examinations earlier this year, in May and June, following months of preparation and extra support including Saturday schools, subject masterclasses, and one-to-one tutoring. 

Malcolm Arnold Academy is proud of all the hard work and dedication students and staff have shown and celebrated with them today as they collected their results.

Amelia achieved an exceptional 10 Grade 9s and feels ‘incredibly proud’ of her achievements. She is looking forward to studying Maths, Psychology and French at A Level. David gained 6 Grade 9s and 2 Grade 8s, and alongside his friend Olly wanted to thank their Maths and History teachers specifically for all the support they have provided throughout their time at the school. George was thrilled at having received 100% for one of his English Literature papers, which helped contribute to his 4 Grade 9s and 4 Grade 8s. Iwan is looking forward to studying Economics at A Level and is really proud of his Maths and Science outcomes. Finally, having clinched a 10 GCSEs from Grades 7-9, Al-Mustapha is now excited to be starting his A Levels, and heading to Derby on a Basketball scholarship. 

Alongside those commencing A Levels, several students are now beginning the exciting passage onto college and apprenticeship to specialise in their chosen pathways. Staff at Malcolm Arnold are exceptionally proud of every student.
