The principal at University Academy Long Sutton has praised its pupils after some brilliant GCSE results.
Liam Davé particularly highlighted the ‘best ever’ number of pupils attaining higher than grade four in maths and English as well as the performances in engineering, drama and statistics.
He said: “First and foremost, like all schools up and down the country I think this Year 11 cohort deserves a special note of recognition having sat formal examinations for the first time over the last two years despite the disruption to learning that they have experienced due to the pandemic.
“We are really proud of our learners and their achievements. This cohort has achieved the best ever figures for grade four and higher in maths and English combined. In particular, we are delighted by the really pleasing performance of engineering, drama and statistics, coupled with the strong performance once again of maths and English.
“In terms of individual performances, I think it is real testimony to the hard work of pupils from all backgrounds that the top five performers in terms of progress include pupils of all prior attainment categories, a pupil of EAL, and a pupil that has had to remote access all of their learning since the pandemic began, all of which are tremendous accolades for the individuals concerned; whilst also demonstrating that UALS is an establishment that caters for the needs of all of its pupils.
“I am pleased that our pupils are in a position to pursue the next stage in their educational journey and we wish everybody all the very best for their futures.
“Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank parents and carers for the support they have offered their children over the last five years, and also all of the staff and Governors at UALS for the work and support they have offered into ensuring pupils have achieved as well as they have.”
