City Academy enjoys GCSE success

City Academy has achieved another year of improvement in GCSE exam results, with students achieving the school’s highest average grades ever.

The number of students achieving grade 5s in both English and maths improved by 3.8%, with over 61% of students passing Maths and 63% of students passing English.

Principal, Ben Tucker said: “I am delighted that the hard work of students, families and staff have led to the results that the students have achieved.

“It has been a pleasure to see students opening up their results and we wish them the best of luck in their next steps in education.”

The City Academy students were among nearly 2,000 young people across the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF) who received their results today – with many celebrating outstanding results and getting set for the next stage of their education.

CLF Deputy CEO Sally Apps said: “As a trust we would like to extend our congratulations to the 1,994 students who are receiving their GCSE and equivalent qualifications today.

“These are the result of considerable effort, diligence and determination and the results celebrated today are opening the door to a range of excellent onward destinations for our young people who have studied at our mainstream and specialist schools.

“It is with considerable gratitude to our staff and parents that we celebrate, knowing that these outcomes are achieved as a result of a considerable team effort.

“It is particularly pleasing to see that this year, more young people who have experienced challenge and disadvantage during their school career are collecting strong results.

“We are proud of them and delighted for them, and wish all CLF Year 11 students – now part of our valued alumni and in many cases continuing their onward study with us – a happy and successful educational career.”
