St Edmund’s Catholic Academy held its annual Presentation Evening last night with celebrity guest Kristian Thomas, England and Great Britain Olympic gymnast and former student of our Academy.

 

Principal, Mrs Maggie Hughes, expressed her delight that the Academy has achieved outstanding results at all levels this year, as was reflected in the certificates and awards presented to students.

 

Kristian Thomas presented over 150 students with shields and certificates for progress and achievement.

 

Mrs Hughes commented to the students: “Back in Sept 2011, when you started in Year 7, it was predicted that 54% of you would have 5 or more A*-C grades including English and Maths at the end of Year 11. This summer 60% of our Year 11 have attained this standard with nearly 70% achieving A* – C grades in at least 5 subjects. You exceeded our predictions and I am very proud of you”.  Every student in Y13 passed their exams.  100% pass rate again in 2016.
The evening ended with an inspirational speech from Kristian Thomas and a wonderful drinks reception to conclude the night.
