GCSE success at Venerable Bede CE Academy, Sunderland
One of the England women’s football team’s younger lionesses is celebrating her GCSE results today.
Sixteen-year-old Emily Cassap’s hard work at Venerable Bede CE Academy reflected her impressive achievements as a midfielder in the national Under-16s squad, as she collected six 6s and four 8s from her Sunderland school. Emily has played six games for the lionesses, including matches in Portugal and Sweden. Her next step is Bede College, studying law, psychology and criminology at A level.
Venerable Bede Headteacher David Airey said:
“We are incredibly proud of the achievements of all pupils in the GCSE class of 2023. Their GCSE results reflect the hard work that they have put into school, and we hope that they are pleased with their achievement. We know that all pupils are ready to move on to the next stage of their education or into employment, and we look forward to hearing about their continued success. We wish them good luck.”
