Today we are celebrating another strong year of GCSE results!
This year's outcomes reflect the cohort's hard work, resilience and determination throughout their time at our school. They also continue our positive trajectory, achieving above national averages and continuing to rise across the board. The results demonstrate our ongoing commitment to ensuring all students achieve success and leave well prepared for the next stage of their education, training or employment.
Among the many success stories being celebrated today are several students who achieved exceptional individual results, demonstrating outstanding commitment to their studies and setting themselves up for bright futures.
👏 Joel M with three Grade 9s, four Grade 8s and three Grade 7s. Joel has chosen to continue his studies at Ashington Academy at sixth form and has enrolled onto maths, further maths, PE and economics.
👏 Billy W who achieved two Grade 9s, three Grade 8s and four Grade 7s. Billy is staying at our sixth form, NE6 and will be studying maths, further maths, physics and economics.
👏 William I is also returning to Ashington for sixth form to study maths, further maths, chemistry and physics, having achieved two Grade 9s, five Grade 8s and one Grade 7.
👏 Gabrielle P was awarded two Grade 9s, five Grade 8s and a Grade 7 and will also join NE6 in September to study PE, chemistry and biology.
👏 Olivia L and Harry S both achieved very strong outcomes and will be heading to the prestigious Shipley College in Henley with a rowing scholarship.
We are thrilled that so many students will now continue their educational journey at NE6, our thriving sixth form, and as others embark on apprenticeships, college courses and specialist training programmes, we wish them the best of luck in their next steps.
Yvonne Weston, our Executive Headteacher, said:
"We are incredibly proud of every student receiving their results today. These outcomes represent years of dedication, perseverance and hard work, and it has been wonderful to celebrate alongside students and staff today.”
Laura Smith, our Associate Headteacher, added:
“We are delighted to see so many students achieving outcomes that will allow them to move confidently on to their next steps. We would also like to thank our staff, families and wider school community for the support they have provided throughout our students' journeys.
This year's results continue to build on the academy's recent successes and reflect the high aspirations we have in place at Ashington Academy. The school remains committed to providing an excellent education, broad opportunities and exceptional support to ensure every student can achieve their potential."
Congratulations, Class of 2026!
