Record number of GCSE’s have been achieved at St Luke’s Academy this year across English and Maths with 50% of students achieving a Grade 4 or higher.
In vocational subjects a broad range and number of qualifications have been achieved across a variety of subjects including Catering, Construction, Mechanics, Sport, ICT and Environmental Conservation & Heritage.
A number of students have achieved more than 5 qualifications, which will ensure successful College placements and future employability.
Principal Judith Buckingham and Vice Principal Scott Pollok said: “Results day this year at St. Luke’s Academy has been awaited with great anticipation. We have been excited to see what our students have achieved across a number of GCSE’s, functional skills and vocational courses.
“As a specialist SEMH school we have been absolutely bowled over by the resilience and hard work our students have demonstrated this year despite challenging times and disruption to their education over the past few years.
“However, due to the outstanding relationships established with staff and the strong school culture and values, with a particular focus on perseverance, our students have really surpassed themselves and wholeheartedly applied themselves to the vast amount of work and assessments they have been required to take in order to achieve these results.”
One student picking up their results said: “I can’t believe I have been able to achieve these grades, I thought I was going to fail!
“I remember being told at the start of Yr11 I could achieve over 5 qualifications and I didn’t believe it! Thanks to St. Luke’s, I have changed my attitude and have now got all of these grades to show for it!
“I will now be able to take the course I want to at College and my future is looking good”.
Finishing off the Principal and Vice Principal said: “We wish the class of 2022 all the very best for the future.
“We are so proud of them and look forward to hearing how their success stories continue into the future. All are very welcome back at any time to speak to both our current and new students (from September) about their experiences and ‘top tips for success’!”
