The atmosphere at Sedgehill Academy’s Sixth Form was buzzing as Year 13 received their A Level and equivalent results – with many delighted to secure their destinations of choice.
This year across the Sixth Form, over half (56%) of all A Level entries were graded as A* to B, with a fifth (22%) of them awarded a top grade of A* or A.
Today’s celebrations reflect years of hard work, ambition and integrity for our Sixth Formers so it is a pleasure to share in their happiness and achievements. What is particularly special is that across this group of Year 13s they have secured such a rich array of destinations – matching the variety of their interests and aspirations as individuals. From those who are looking forward to continuing their studies at top universities, to our dedicated athletes, to those pursuing creative fields or technical professions, they can each take pride in knowing they will be taking their next steps with the qualifications they need to progress and the skills and attributes for success.

Sedgehill Academy was continued its summer of celebrations as Year 11 students received their GCSE results. These represented a significant improvement on last year’s figures, enabling many more to secure the next steps into Sixth Form and College of their choice.
This year, two thirds of Year 11s (66%) achieved a Grade 5 or higher in both English and maths – an impressive 24 percentage point increase on last year’s figures. A similar trend of improvement was seen with the percentage of students achieving the two subjects at either 4+ or 7+.
81% of the year group achieved at least a Grade 4 in both English and maths, opening more doors for them as they choose their next steps at post-16.
Along with these improvements, many of the cohort were celebrating a strong overall set of GCSE grades.
Among those celebrating were:
"I'm so happy. I love the teachers at Sedgehill, they really supported us. They gave up their time, and it's really paid off with my grades. I'm really grateful for the opportunities they've given me."
"The teachers have been so supportive thoughout the years. They're just really open to helping out when you have a problem, which I really appreciate so much."
"I'm grateful for the teachers at Sedgehill that have helped me get these results. I'm feeling very happy and the hard work has paid off."
Sedgehill Academy Sixth Form students have gone on to study at top Russell Group and international universities, these include:
