Lydiard Park Academy hails 'fantastic' A Level and vocational results

Staff and students from Lydiard Park Academy Sixth Form are today celebrating achieving 'fantastic' A Level and vocational qualifications.

Students have achieved a 100% pass rate in all academic and vocational qualifications, and A level outcomes at A*-A were double national headline targets, reflecting the extraordinary progress made by students.

School chiefs say students have demonstrated remarkable resilience, determination, and a commitment to personal growth, and their collective progress is a testament to the academy’s ethos of turning potential into performance, supporting every student to exceed expectations.

Principal Gary Pearson said: “We are incredibly proud of our students - not just for the grades they’ve achieved, but for the journey they’ve taken to get there. 

"These results reflect the hard work of our young people and the dedication of our staff in helping them thrive.”

Park Academies Trust CEO Gemma Piper said: “Congratulations to all our students and staff. We are very proud to see the impressive range of results this year and the smiles on so many faces. 

"I wish everyone the very best for the future and want to thank students and their teachers for all their hard work and dedication.”

Among the many successes, 76% of grades at A* - C were awarded across the range of subjects, showcasing individual excellence and academic ambition, and and 63% of grades awarded in vocational courses were at Distinction* and Distinction, highlighting the strength of our applied learning programmes and the talent of our students.

These outcomes open doors to exciting futures, with students securing places at universities, apprenticeships, and employment opportunities across the country.
