CHURCHILL Academy & Sixth Form has announced that its Year 11 students have achieved the school’s best GCSE results since 2018.

More than half of the school’s students achieved strong passes (grade 5 and above) in English and Maths, and over 25 per cent of all GCSE results were grade 7 or above.

Among the many success stories are Ross Curnow, Ben Marks, Keziah Sharkey, Yana Markova, Carys Hiscox, Arwen Kuipers von Lande and Maisie Vowles, all of whom achieved all their GCSE results at grades 9, 8 or 7.

Students taking GCSE Music achieved an average grade of 7, while another strong performance was seen in a wide variety of departments, such as: Art & Design, Design & Technology, Food and Nutrition, Business Studies, Mathematics and Religious Education.

Chris Hildrew, headteacher at Churchill Academy & Sixth Form, said: "GCSE results day is an important milestone, and we're so proud of our students' hard work and dedication.

“Their exceptional performance across all subjects—both academic and creative—is a testament to our vision 'to set no limits on what we can achieve.' Many of our students have exceeded their own expectations.

“I want to thank the students’ families and the Academy’s staff who have supported the students throughout their studies. We are confident that the students have a strong foundation to prepare them for the next exciting chapter of their lives, and we look forward to celebrating their future accomplishments."

The school is particularly pleased with the strong achievements made by all students, demonstrating their resilience and determination to succeed.

This success follows the Academy's recent Ofsted Inspection, which rated Churchill Academy & Sixth Form as "Good" in all areas. The report praised the school for its "broad and ambitious curriculum that prepares students well for their next steps in learning."
