The schools are Lydiard Park Academy, Abbey Park and Highworth Warneford. 

The trust says this year’s results are a cause for extra celebration with students securing an unprecedented impressive haul of combined GCSE results across its secondary schools. 

As exam grading returns to pre-pandemic levels this year, the remarkable grades are a mark of just how hard pupils have worked over the last few years. 

James Nicholson, Interim CEO of The Park Academies Trust said: “Congratulations to all our pupils and staff for achieving a fantastic set of GCSE results. 

"Their determination and dedication shine through the impressive results we’re seeing across The Park Academies Trust. I’m delighted to see staff, students and families feeling so proud of everyone’s achievements.” 

Lydiard Park Academy Principal Gary Pearson said: “It’s wonderful to see so many great results, in all subjects, which are a testament to the excellent standard of teaching we are so proud of, but most importantly to the commitment of our students to do their very best. 

"We’re very proud to say our students have achieved our best ever result in the number of pupils achieving 5+ in GCSE English and Maths. 

"Staff at Lydiard Park Academy have once again gone above and beyond to ensure our students have been well looked after -  with a particular focus on their wellbeing alongside our commitment to high educational standards." 

Jon Young, Abbey Park School Principal, said: “It’s such a pleasure to be celebrating the excellent examination results with our pupils. 

"We are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved thanks to the determination and resilience they have shown throughout their education at Abbey Park School. 

"The dedication and support of our staff and parents has been instrumental in helping them achieve their full potential and we wish them every success in their next steps.”

Andy Steele, Headteacher at Highworth Warneford School, said: “I am delighted that our students at Highworth Warneford have yet again gained a fantastic set of exam results. They have worked incredibly hard and I know they will go on to achieve amazing things in the future. 

"Congratulations to them all and thank you to the whole school community, including staff and parents, for supporting them to do so well.”
