Cowley Academy students celebrate GCSE and Vocational exam success
Students and staff at Cowley Academy are celebrating a record breaking year of academic and vocational success with highly impressive results across the diverse curriculum of 18 different GCSE and BTEC subjects.
It has been a record year for English and Mathematics grades at Cowley Academy plus the top four subjects where students have achieved grades 7 to 9 (or equivalent) are Health & Social Care, Information Technology, Performing Arts and Sports Science. There has also been a notable increase in grades 9 to 5 in Business Studies and French.
Mrs Jemma Curson, Chief Executive Officer at South Lincolnshire Academies Trust said “The fantastic results across all four schools in our Trust demonstrate the incredible hard work of our students and staff, and reflects the students hard work and commitment to their studies. Bourne Academy along with Spalding Academy and Giles Academy have consistently demonstrated impressive results, and we are delighted that Cowley Academy are now emulating the academic success and progress of our other schools since joining the Trust in September 2022.”
“As a Trust with non-selective schools, I am immensely proud of the achievements of every single student who have grown into amazing young people with bright futures. We are delighted so many students have achieved what they require to progress to the next stage of their education and will make a positive difference within their community.”
The impressive GCSE and Vocational grades have been replicated across every school that are part of South Lincolnshire Academies Trust and reflects how well students are fully supported. The continued progress of the summer examination results at Cowley Academy highlights the strength of the quality of education and the wide variety of initiatives that students have been eager to take advantage of. Students have benefitted from extra revision sessions during the Easter holidays, where students choose additional two-hour lessons on specific subjects. In term time, during lunchtimes and after-school, subject staff have provided homework and revision clubs as part of their enrichment programmes. The Trust has also invested in online learning resources that students have been able to utilise as part of their revision tools. This dedication to go above and beyond has ensured students can be rewarded for their hard work and dedication.
Mrs Kath Kilby, Headteacher at Cowley Academy said “It has been wonderful to see the successes of our students today as their hard work and dedication has been rewarded.”
“There have been many new literacy and numeracy initiatives implemented since Cowley Academy joined the Trust, and we are especially delighted that English and Mathematics grades 4 or above have increased by 22%. The number of top achieving students gaining a 5 or above in English and Mathematics has also increased by 12%.”
“I am pleased so many students from Cowley Academy will continue their education in the Trust as they have achieved the results to progress to our SLAT Sixth Form at Bourne Academy. I wish all our students the very best in the next phase of their educational endeavours whether this be Sixth Form, College or an apprenticeship, and I hope they will keep in touch with the school in the future.”
