Students and staff at Leigh Academy Hugh Christie are today celebrating one of the best ever sets of GCSE results in the school’s history, marking an improvement on last year’s outcomes and demonstrating the strength and commitment of our learning community.
More than 230 grades were awarded at Grade 6, 7, 8 and 9, showcasing the exceptional achievements of our students across a wide range of subjects. These outstanding results are a testament to the hard work of our students, the dedication of our staff, and the support of our families.
Nearly 60% of students achieved Grade 4 or better in both maths and English, a crucial benchmark that opens doors for further study and employment opportunities. Many of our students will now progress confidently onto A levels, BTEC Level 3 programmes, or other post-16 pathways – fully prepared for the next stage of their education.
A growing number of students are successfully following the EBacc pathway, with continued year-on-year improvement in both access and attainment. This trend highlights the academy’s sustained focus on providing a broad and ambitious curriculum for all learners.
Some special achievements:
- Sarthak: 6x grade 9; 1x grade 8; 1 x grade 7
- Marko: 3x grade 9; 4x grade 8; 1x grade 7
- Cole: 3x grade 9; 3x grade 8
- Hannah: 1x Distinction*; 1x Dist; 5x grade 7; 1x grade 6
- John: 2x grade 8; 3x grade 7; 2x grade 6; 1x L2 merit
- Ryan: 1x grade 8; 4 x grade 7; 3x grade 6
Principal, Palak Shah, commented:
“I am incredibly proud of all our students. These results reflect not only academic achievement but also the resilience, determination and ambition of our young people. To see such a marked improvement on last year’s results – and to celebrate the best outcomes we’ve ever had – is a truly special moment for our whole academy community. As an academy, we are committed to continuous improvement and to ensuring every student can fulfil their potential. Today’s results prove that we are moving firmly in the right direction. I’d like to thank our staff for their tireless work, our parents for their unwavering support, and our students for believing in themselves and working so hard to achieve their goals. I am looking forward to welcoming so many of our students back to begin their Post 16 journey with us.”
The chair of governors, Lesley Broom, commented:
“I was delighted to be able to share the morning with our brilliant students receiving their GCSE results this morning. I would like to thank all students for their hard work resulting in another year of improved results. Thanks must also go to our hardworking staff who have worked tirelessly with our students and to our very supportive parents. These results followed our amazing A level results of last week, with 100% of students securing their onward destination.”
Congratulations to the Class of 2025 – we couldn’t be prouder.
