Principal Simon Underwood said “We are extremely pleased with the students’ efforts this year, we are all very proud of their achievements. Under evolving national circumstances the Academy’s community has represented themselves with integrity and professionalism. We will continue to support the students at every level and ensure they have the pathways they deserve.

“The range of high-quality destinations indicates the hard work of the students and dedication from the Academy’s staff; it is also important to recognise the commitment and support from parents and carers alike.

“To see our young people move to destinations of their choice is very satisfying, we wish them all the best in their next endeavours. The results are indicative of the progress that the Academy has made in its overall provision. We are determined that we will continue to go from strength to strength and provide our community with an excellent sixth form environment.”
