John Cabot Academy remains one of the area’s top performing schools after another year of outstanding achievements by its students in their GCSEs this summer.
Students at John Cabot Academy always thrive academically in a supportive and compassionate culture.
This year, 80% achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths. And 61% achieved a grade 5 in both subjects. This makes John Cabot one of the best schools locally and nationally, once again.
John Cabot Academy Principal Kate Willis said: “There have been exceptional results at JCA, with students achieving grade 9 in all of their exams. However we are incredibly proud of the hard work and achievements of all of our students.
“Our teachers have worked tirelessly to engage, challenge and motivate our students so that when they leave us they have a strong sense of self, place and the agency to fulfil their potential. We look forward to seeing what they will achieve in the future.
“I would like to thank parents and carers for their support for our academy, one another and their children over the last five years.”
The John Cabot 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.”
