Congratulations to all our Year 11 students who collected their GCSE results today. Amongst the Class of ’22 was Elsie who achieved an incredible 5 GCSEs at Grade 9 and 3 GCSEs at Grade 8 who responded, “I’m really happy – I worked really hard but the support that I have received from the teachers has been great.”

Having previously achieved Grade 9 in Maths last year, Ivan was also delighted to receive 5 Grade 9 GCSEs and 4 GCSEs at Grade 8, including a Grade 9 in Further Maths.

Headteacher, Mr Maltby, was delighted at the individual successes at Holbrook Academy alongside the overall progress of this cohort. “This Year group has experienced real challenges over the past two years and yet they have demonstrated such resilience and grit. I am as proud as proud can be of our students.”

During the exam season, many students participated in a fire-walking experience that the Academy arranged; a reminder that courage and determination can overcome fearsome obstacles. Today, students at Holbrook Academy have proven that their generation can achieve great things and the Academy wishes them every success in the next chapter of their lives.
