Countesthorpe Academy is delighted to report fantastic achievements by our students in their A levels and Level 3 qualifications this summer.
The excellent results received by our students reflect their hard work, dedication and commitment over the last two years. Our team of committed staff have supported students through their studies, and we are all extremely proud of what has been achieved. A Level and Level 3 qualifications are challenging and to succeed requires unwavering determination and resilience.
Our top achieving students have secured places on a range of courses including Economics at the University of Leicester, International Disaster Management at the University of Manchester, Theology at the University of Leeds, and Environmental Science at the University of Plymouth. Students have also secured apprenticeships across a range of disciplines, and these are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to degree courses.
The diverse range of courses and apprenticeships our students can now access with their great results is testament to their resilience, determination and hard work. Some students have overcome particularly challenging circumstances making incredible progress in the face of adversity.
All our students have lived out our Countesthorpe values of ‘being the very best they can be.’
Catherine Aitcheson, the school’s headteacher said: “Congratulations to all our students. Today we see the rewards of two years of commitment, dedication and sheer hard work. Our students thoroughly deserve the grades they have achieved today. We are extremely proud and wish them all the very best as they take their next steps to university, apprenticeships, and employment”.
Gareth Williams, the school’s Executive Headteacher said “Today is a day to celebrate all the hard work our students have put in over the last two years. We’re extremely proud of the excellent results achieved showing that Countesthorpe Academy is a vibrant and successful destination for post 16 learners.”
Countesthorpe Academy Students are talented, creative and community minded, so it’s no surprise to see them contributing to this year’s Cosby Yarn bomb!
Held each year, the Cosby Yarn Bomb is created by residents of Cosby and members of the local community. This year the theme was Fun & Games, Mischief & Mayhem.
Countesthorpe Academy students supported this event by designing and creating some supporting elements for the Sonic the Hedgehog section.
If you visited the Yarn Bomb this year we are sure you were impressed by the displays and talents of everyone involved, and it’s great to see our students helping this amazing enterprise.
