One of the school’s top performers, Sam Shahiri, said:
“I feel a such a sense of triumph! It has been a complex journey with disruptions, and the multifaceted challenges of the GCSEs, but I am grateful that my hard work has paid off and it all seems worth it now. I am excited about starting my A Levels and what these results mean for my future.”
Another student, Beatriz Mendes Alem, who was awarded 10 GCSEs between grades 6 and 9 added:
“I am over the moon that I got these grades – they are even higher than I expected. It has been hard work and tiring but it was absolutely worth it. I have enrolled in the TTA Sixth Form and am excited that my great teachers here will be taking me on to A Level.”
Today’s achievements follow last week’s A Level success, which saw an impressive 33% of the school’s entries achieve A* or A grades and 87% of entries receive A*-C grades. These results allowed Sixth Formers to secure their places at some of the UK’s top Russell Group institutions to study a range of competitive courses, including Engineering, Law and Forensic Science. Many of the academy’s Year 11 students will be continuing their studies at the school’s Sixth Form in September.
Commenting on students’ accomplishments, Chris Fairbairn, Principal at The Totteridge Academy, said:
“Following last week’s A Level results, today’s set of GCSE grades cement a very strong year for the school. Our Year 11 students have overcome many obstacles over the past two years to achieve these qualifications of which they are all thoroughly deserving. I am particularly pleased to see so many of our students securing the highest grades, which is testament to their enduring focus and relentless desire to achieve their very best.
“Many thanks to staff across the academy for the excellent teaching they deliver to our young people, as well as for the wider support and advice they provide. We are looking forward to welcoming many of our Year 11s back into our Sixth Form in September, where I have no doubt that they will follow in the success of our outgoing Year 13 cohort.”
