Of special mention are the fantastic results achieved by Naim-Jordan Mckenzie-Pryce who, after suffering an accident resulting in life-changing injuries and missing all of Year 10 and half of Year 11, managed to achieve an exceptional 6 in English and 5s in both Maths and French. Naim-Jordan’s resilience and fortitude has been truly inspirational since his return to the Academy in early 2025. As he collected his results both he and his mum said they were feeling “so proud” of what he has accomplished.

Principal Charlie Comerford praised Year 11’s achievements, saying: “We are extremely proud of our students and all they have achieved. These results are the outcome of years of resilience and dedication and show what can be accomplished when determination and excellent teaching come together. We are especially pleased to see so many of our students securing the grades needed to progress onto their next steps with confidence. Many will be staying here at our outstanding Sixth Form and we’re excited to see what they achieve n
