Students and staff across Ormiston Academies Trust are celebrating after collecting hard-earned A-level and GCSE results this summer, with some excellent student achievements across the country.
Following their tremendous efforts and the support of dedicated staff, leaders, and families across the trust communities, from Grimsby and Runcorn to Lowestoft and the Isle of Wight, students are now looking towards the next steps in their education or career journey, incredibly proud of what they have achieved.
Across all of our academies, our students have worked incredibly hard, and they should be very proud of themselves.
