An impressive 80% of English students at Corby Business Academy made three levels of progress and more than 40% improved by four levels.

Kettering Science Academy’s progress in English exceeded national expectations while their significant rise for maths brought them in line with national levels of performance. They also surpassed the county average for GCSEs and progress.

At Thomas Clarkson Academy 77% of students made the expected level of progress in English while 52% hit the target for maths with 45% of the cohort achieving the government’s newly introduced measure of two A-C grades in English and maths.

There were exceptional individual results across the Trust: Lauren Coull and Lydia Pouncey from Brooke Weston each achieved 9A*, 2As and a Distinction. 

At Kettering Science Academy Samuel Blackman was celebrating 8A*s and 2 As while Corby Business Academy’s Evie Berry also got eight A*s and an A. Alicia Baghdouyan, from Thomas Clarkson Academy, got five A* grades with the remainder at A.

These results encompass our Trust aims of high expectations and ambition for all.’
