Examination Results 2021
Posted 13th August 2021
Overall, we are pleased that none of the grades we submitted to the exam boards were changed at any of our academies. This is a testament to the incredible hard work, commitment and dedication of our students and staff, especially over the last few months.

GCSE successes
- Across our academies, results are slightly lower than 2020, but stronger than 2019
- Our teacher assessed grades were robust and headline results are in line with what we would have expected to achieve had students sat external examinations
- Strong results for disadvantaged students across our academies – bucking the national trend:
- At Kings and McMillan, disadvantaged students made more progress than other students in the academy (and nationally in 2019)
