Extreme Pride at St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy

The staff and governors at St. Joseph’s Catholic Academy, part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust, are extremely proud of the achievements of our year 11 students. 

The school, in Hebburn, would like to congratulate them on their hard work, determination and excellent GCSE results. 

Of course, this year group has received a disrupted learning journey, experiencing lockdown due to COVID in both years 9 and 10, yet they have not let this get in their way of success.  

83% of students have five GCSE’s or more in grades 9-4 and 32% of all grades were at the equivalent of grade 7 or higher. In English, 29% of students achieved a grade 7 or higher and in Maths, 22% of students achieved a grade 7 or higher.

Extra recognition

  • Rebecca Robinson, achieved eight grade 9’s, one grade 8 and a distinction star
  • Isabelle Armour, who achieved eight grade 9’s and two grade 8’s
  • James Thoburn, who achieved four grade 9’s, five grade 8’s and one grade 7

St Jospeh’s wishes all their students well as they progress onto their chosen next steps including staying on into sixth form, continuing with their education elsewhere or taking up an apprenticeship and training. The school would also like to thank the staff and the families of our students for their support throughout the GCSE journey.
