GCSE results: Students at Tuxford Academy celebrate success

Students from Tuxford Academy, part of the Diverse Academies Trust, are looking forward to bright futures after today’s GCSE results.

Principal Mr Jon Hardy said the day was about celebrating the hard work of students, as well as acknowledging the support and commitment of Tuxford Academy staff — underpinning the academy motto of excellence through teamwork.

Notable successes included Samuel Barr, of Retford, who gained two grade nines, five grade eights and three grade sevens.

Samuel will take up his place at Tuxford Academy sixth form to study maths, chemistry, biology and Spanish.

On receiving his results, Samuel said: “It was hard work, but it was worth it.”

Oliver Brown, of Tuxford, is also celebrating his results.

Oliver gained three grade nines, two grade eights and four grade sevens. He will be staying on at Tuxford to study product design, maths, further maths and physics.

Hard work paid off for Megan Walters of Retford too, who managed to secure four grade nines, three grade eights and two grade sixes.

With four grade nines, three grade eights and two grade sevens, Sinead Franzreb will be moving to the Netherlands to attend the International Baccalaureate school at Den Hague.

Sinead said: “I am so happy with the opportunities Tuxford gave me.”

Continuing the success, Georgina Ward, of North Muskham, achieved three grade nines, four grade eights and three grade sevens.

Georgina, who said she put a lot of effort in to her studies, will be continuing her education at Tuxford, where she will study maths, psychology and biology.

Mr Jon Hardy, principal at Tuxford Academy said: “What a strange year it has been.

"I am incredibly proud of all our students collecting their GCSE results today — the hard work and dedication has really paid off.

"Each and every year, students at the academy show such commitment in everything they do, and this year has been no exception.

“I wish each and every student luck and happiness in the future, whether they are continuing their studies with us, or if they are pursuing their education elsewhere.”

The academy has invited any students yet to secure a place with a post 16 provider to visit www.tuxford-ac.org.uk/sixth-form or to email gcupit@tuxford-ac.org.uk
