Grace Academy Solihull continues to perform with outstanding GCSE results

Students at Grace Academy Solihull were celebrating another year of outstanding GCSE results with the Academy continuing to excel. 

Student performance in Maths and English continues to be strong with the vast majority of students achieving Grades 4 to 9 in both subjects.

The academy continues to achieve well in a range of academic subjects including Biology, Physics and French, where more than 90% of students achieved Grades 4 to 9 and Chemistry, where nearly half the students achieved the highest grades possible. Students also excelled in other areas of a broad and balanced curriculum with 100% of students achieving a good pass in subjects such as Photography and Media Studies and 71% of students in Sport achieving a distinction or higher.

Reflecting upon this year’s results, Principal Matthew Godwin said:
“I am incredibly proud of the fantastic GCSE results achieved by our Year 11 students this year. These outcomes are a true reflection of the students’ dedication and determination, supported every step of the way by our committed staff and the unwavering encouragement of parents and carers. It has been a privilege to watch our students grow and succeed, and I want to wish each and every one of them the very best in whatever path they choose to take next. I am confident that they are well-prepared for the future and will go on to achieve great things.”

Individual successes were seen across the cohort as students worked tirelessly to meet the challenges of the last few years. Year 11 student Matthew Smith from Grace Academy Solihull, who has achieved grade 9, the highest possible, in eight subjects said: 

“I am extremely proud of the results in my exams, the great and supportive teachers at the school guided my hard work and allowed me to achieve what I have.”

Sister’s Katie and Millie McCutcheon (pictured above) who achieved a combined set of results including 15 grades above a grade 7 said they were “proud” and “overjoyed” at their results, stating that they “cannot thank the teachers any more for how dedicated and helpful they are” and ”their amazing support”. 

Student Evie Schilling, who achieved 8 GCSEs at grade 8 or above, including a grade 9 in Geography and Business Studies, said:

“I am delighted with my results. I am thankful for the teachers who have helped me along the way and I have loved my time at Grace Academy. ”

Commenting on the academy’s outstanding results, Executive Principal Darren Gelder said:
“I am once again proud of the hard work and commitment from students, parents, carers and staff which have yielded another set of outstanding results. This provides them with a solid foundation to allow them to make a positive next step in their lives as well-rounded and informed members of society.”
