GCSE day – ‘The Best!’ at The Academy at Shotton Hall
Students at the Academy at Shotton Hall have once again achieved outstanding GCSE results affirming the school’s status as one of the best in the region.
Nearly a third of all grades were awarded at grade 7 or above which is the equivalent of A*-A under the old grading system. In addition over 40% of students achieved grade 4 or above in the prestigious EBACC.
There are a number of outstanding individual performances including:
Thomas Cox – ten grade 9s
Anna Carlisle – nine grade 9s and a grade 8
Mio Shinohara – seven grade 9s and three grade 8s
Ragesh Kantharuvan – seven grade 9s and three grade 8s
Rihanna Evans – six grade 9s, two grade 8s and two grade 7s
Millie Clark – eight grade 9s and two grade 8s
Alex Hook, Headteacher at the Academy, said:
“Students have once again lived up to our high expectations and I am extremely proud of each and every one of them – well done to you all! I’d like to commend students for their attitude and effort; their resilience shines bright. This year’s results whilst themselves are a huge achievement, become even better when we remember they did it the hard way, often in very difficult circumstances. In celebrating these achievements, we must recognise the journey and challenges each student faced and overcame. Yet, in the face of these hurdles, they have persevered and achieved great success. Beyond these outstanding grades, it’s their personal and collective growth journey that deserves celebration.”
Chair of governors, Amanda Moon, added:
“This year’s results reflect the school’s rigorous academic environment as well as the supportive community Shotton Hall has created, where their commitment to providing a well-rounded education prepares students not just for exams, but for life. To all our GCSE students, a heartfelt congratulations. I’m confident that this is just the beginning of many more achievements to come.”
