Neale-Wade Academy principal says he’s ‘proud’ of students as A-level results revealed
A school principal has described his pride in his students following yesterday’s A-Level results.
Students at Neale-Wade Academy in March have plenty of cause for celebration after achieving a strong set of A-level results.
The academy, part of The Active Learning Trust, is known for its commitment to educational excellence and continues to build on its strengths.
This year, particular student successes at the school include excellent results in vocational qualifications, which the trust says remains a notable strength of the academy. Many students achieved the highest Distinction grade.
Also celebrating are the 25% of the Year 13 cohort who applied to university to study a wide range of subjects, reflecting the diverse interests and aspirations of the students.
Graham Horn, Neale-Wade principal, said: “I am so proud of the achievements of our students. They have demonstrated exceptional perseverance and commitment to their studies. We look forward to following their career choices and wish them every success in their chosen field. Heartfelt thanks to our brilliant staff too - their hard work and dedication is second to none.”
Two students Charlie Gatty and Millie Jolley will be heading off to their chosen universities with a financial boost in their pockets.
The pair have been successful in obtaining grants of £9,000 a year each for every year of their degree course from the March Endowment Fund.
The fund is a local charity that awards local students, supporting their work in adversity or for particular note.
Lynsey Holzer, CEO of The Active Learning Trust, said: “Congratulations to all our students on their fantastic results. I also want to recognise the hard work of our teachers and staff who have supported them throughout. We are thrilled to see our students celebrate their achievements and wish them every success in their future studies or training. Well done, everyone.”
Students across the district have received their results including at the Cromwell Community College in Chatteris, Thomas Clarkson Academy in Wisbech, and Wisbech Grammar School, with many heading off to universities nationwide this autumn.
