GCSE results day: University of Brighton Academies Trust academies celebrate GCSE results Day

Today students at The Burgess Hill Academy are celebrating a set of excellent results, and staff at the Academy are delighted with how much the students have achieved. 12% of all results were at grade 8 or above, with 23% at grade 7 or above.

Simon Davies, the new Principal at The Burgess Hill Academy, said, “Despite the disruption to their education, they have been amazingly resilient; they have continued to work hard and focused on their studies. The results are a consequence of that hard work and resilience, and they should all be incredibly proud of their achievements.

“I know our students will be grateful for the dedication of their teachers and the support staff who have helped make this success possible. We are very thankful for the active support of families who have continued to encourage the students during their time at the Academy.

“This group of students can now take their next steps with confidence. As well as great results, they are a very impressive group of young people who are kind, well-rounded, self-aware and determined to make the most of their opportunities. We wish them all the best for their future.”

In amongst the wealth of hard work and dedication, there were many standout students who achieved top grades or made exceptional progress during their time at the Academy. To name a few, below are some highlights that we wanted to celebrate.

Ruby Nunns achieved grade 9’s in all of her GCSE’s; these included biology, chemistry, design technology, French, history, English language, English literature, maths, physics and further maths.
