Year 11 learners across Dudley Academies Trust are celebrating a record-breaking set of GCSE outcomes, with results increasing by 5% overall across the Trust, an incredible achievement. This is the best performance in the Trust’s nine-year history for learners achieving the gold standard grade 5+ in both English and Mathematics, reflecting the hard work, ambition and determination of learners, staff and our educational community.
Jo Higgins, Chief Executive Officer, said: “This is a truly proud and historic moment for Dudley Academies Trust. To achieve the best GCSE outcomes in the Trust’s nine-year history is an exceptional achievement, and one that reflects the ambition, commitment and shared determination across our school communities. These results show what is possible when we dream big, reward effort and lead together with a clear focus on helping every learner succeed. Behind every result is a story of hard work, resilience and aspiration, and today we celebrate each learner for the effort they have shown and the opportunities they have created for their future. I would like to thank our dedicated staff for the care, expertise and encouragement they give every day, and our parents and carers for working in partnership with us. Together, we are creating inspirational climates for learning where young people can flourish, believe in themselves and move forward with confidence.”
Congratulations to all our Year 11 learners — we are incredibly proud of you and wish you every success in the next stage of your journey.”
