St Margaret’s Academy records another strong year of GCSE and vocational results

Excitement as students collect results
This morning [Thursday, 21 August], Year 11 students at St Margaret’s Church of England Academy in Aigburth arrived full of excitement to collect their GCSE and vocational results. Proud families joined students as they opened their envelopes, while staff and senior leaders were on hand to celebrate and enrol students into the school’s sixth form.

Strong performances across subjects
Part of All Saints Multi Academy Trust, the academy is once again recognising the hard work, commitment and ambition shown by its students. Over 73 per cent secured grades 9-4 in English and maths, with exceptional results in triple science, languages, art and photography.

Vocational success
Vocational results remain strong, with over half of grades in engineering and food and nutrition awarded between Distinction* and Merit. The number of students achieving grades 7-9 also increased, reflecting both their dedication and high teaching standards.

Students’ achievements

• Zack Alcock – six grade 9s, two grade 8s and a Distinction. “I’m delighted to stay and study maths and engineering,” he said.
• Gabriel Ponce – five grade 9s, three grade 8s and a grade 6. “Results day was scaring me so much, but I’m happy to see that my hard work has paid off,” Gabriel said.
• Nasko Paskalav – five grade 9s, three grade 8s and a grade 7. “They really believed in me, which is worth more than anything,” he said.

Headteacher praises students
Headteacher Adam Robinson said: “Seeing our students open their envelopes was a real privilege. Behind their results is a story of effort, perseverance and personal growth. We’re proud to have been part of their journey and wish them every success in the future.”

Looking ahead to sixth form
Mr Robinson added: “We look forward to welcoming many students back next month for A-level and vocational studies at St Margaret’s Sixth Form. Staff will be in the sports centre at the bottom of Church Lane to enrol students tomorrow and next week from 9am to 12pm.”
