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.”  

Among the school’s successful pupils and shown jumping for joy outside Venerable Bede are, from left, senior prefects Megan, Jack, Andrew and Erin. Megan is heading next to Bede Campus at Sunderland College to study English literature, law and criminology, while Jack will be studying maths, physics and chemistry at Durham Sixth Form Centre. Andrew is to study physics, maths and chemistry while Erin is also heading to Durham Sixth Form Centre.
