Students at Sawtry Village Academy are celebrating opening their GCSE exam results today (August 25).

Particular student successes include Danielle John, Holly Bannister and Isabelle Johnson, who all attained at least eight grade 9s each, the equivalent of an A*.

The hard work and dedication of Ethan Batty, Amy Coates, Ava Coates, Daniella Brown, Lauren Housden, Cian Cross and James Naegeli were also rewarded, with the students averaging grade 8 or above across their complement of GCSEs.

Simon Parsons, principal at Sawtry Village Academy, said: “We could not be prouder of what our students have achieved this year and how hard they have worked throughout their studies.

“The resilience shown under such challenging conditions over the past two years has been remarkable.

"Their results demonstrate their academic excellence over the past five years, which would not have been possible without the dedication of our team of inspiring and motivational staff who have supported every student throughout their time at Sawtry Village Academy”.

Sarah Wilson, executive principal at Meridian Trust, said: “Many congratulations to our GCSE year 11 cohort who have performed so well in their exams.

"The achievements reflect all the hard work they have put in during their time at Sawtry Village Academy. The students are now in an excellent position to take their next steps into Post-16 study and beyond.”
