THE Fallibroom­e Academy GCSE results:

We are delighted with the results that our Y11 students have achieved today.

As a school, we invested an enormous amount of time ensuring that our teacher assessment­s were an accurate representa­tion of their work so we know that the grades they have received are fully justified.

We have enjoyed celebratin­g this with them today as we know how hard they and their teachers have worked to achieve such remarkably high standards.

This cohort has had to cope with a great deal of disruption to their education in recent months so it has been a great pleasure to mark the end of their GCSE journey with us in such a positive fashion. Having seen them contribute so positively to all aspects of school life during their time here, we wish them well in the next phase of their education, whether that is at our Sixth Form or with any other Post-16 providers in the region.
