Smiles and celebrations – excellent GCSE results for Astley Students

Students at Astley Community High School are delighted with the results they received today. 

Astley students have been resilient throughout the pandemic and are the first to sit formal exams since Summer 2019. Many students will continue their studies in the Sixth Form at Astley, where a wide range of academic and vocational subjects are on offer, including STEM subjects such as Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. Vocational Courses include Business, Health and Social Care, Applied Science and Travel.

Jack Belshaw, Bethan King, Shahrin Reza and Samuel Timiln were excited to achieve the highest GCSE grades across their subjects and we are pleased to announce that they are all returning to our Sixth Form to study A Levels.

Head of School, Graham Scott said:

“I am extremely pleased with the results our Year 11 students have received after a very difficult few years for everyone. Within the mix, there are some absolutely

amazing achievements and perhaps understandably some disappointments. What is apparent is that the young people who worked hard, didn’t make excuses and tried to make the best of a challenging situation have got the results that their efforts deserved. I am immensely proud of you all for your perseverance and resilience. Very well done! Wherever your path takes you next, I wish you all the best for the future!”

Executive Head of School, John Barnes commented: 

“I am immensely proud of how well our students have coped during these difficult times, they have been a credit to themselves, their families and the school. They have achieved some excellent GCSE results, which are testament to their hard work over the last three years at Astley.”

Students interested in joining the Sixth Form at Astley Community High School are encouraged to contact Adam Ironside, Head of Sixth Form, via email – reception@svf.org.uk
