Year 11 students celebrate their success in the 2024 GCSE examinations
We are extremely impressed by the tremendous success of our students at Thornhill Community Academy in the summer GCSE examinations. Despite challenges to their secondary education, where students have faced lockdowns and periods of remote learning, they have performed superbly. Individual students have made huge progress, and the whole year group have improved headline figures again. The percentage of students achieving a standard pass between grades 4 and 9 in English and Maths has risen to 63% this year, and those achieving a good pass (grade 5) in both subjects has risen to 44% for 2024 leavers.
Headteacher, Mr Burton, commented: “We ask for two things from everyone at TCA - work hard, and be nice. I am so proud of students' outcomes this year, and their dedication and application has been a genuine privilege to witness. They have worked hard, been nice, and today's outcomes absolutely prove that when this happens, excellent results follow. To all students: be rightly proud of your excellent achievements; to all families: thank you for your support in working with your children to give them the platform to achieve; to all staff and governors: a huge thank you and congratulations on your efforts to ensure that every year 11 student leaves this Academy with the skills, qualifications and values to have successful and happy lives. Despite this cohort facing huge upheaval and disruption to their education, they have persevered and made me extremely proud.”
