Success for all at St Edmund’s Catholic Academy

The skies are blue and our students are smiling today as GCSE results are published. It has been a time of tremendous success for our year 11 who have worked so maturely and with such resilience after two periods of lockdown.

Mrs Hazeldine said “I have this mantra I use a lot! : all our students need to feel success at St Edmund’s” and I am so happy to see this in action today. From our highest academic achievers to our wonderful SEND students who have made fantastic progress, I feel so proud and blessed to be working in this community.

72.4% of all students have achieved a 4+ in English and Maths and 48.0% have achieved 5+ with the best progress scores for all students ever recorded for our wonderful SEND pupils who we are equally proud of at St Edmund’s.

Our highest achievers were very excited to have gathered 80 grade 7+ between them: .
