The wait for the examination results is a nervous one for both pupils and their teachers who want to see if their hard work has paid off. On Thursday it was clear that it had! The smiles and hugs of congratulation were evidence of the many individual successes this year and the overall record breaking outcome for the school.

Stewards Academy continues the upward trend with an overall result of 58% of pupils achieving 5 or more A* to C grades with English and Maths. Following on from the recent excellent Ofsted report this reflects the tremendous hard work by staff and pupils in working towards the school's challenging internal targets.

Headteacher Rhonda Murthar said "We are all delighted with the results which are the best that Stewards Academy has yet achieved. They reflect exactly what Ofsted saw when they came in - a team effort on the part of the pupils, staff and the families of our pupils in working together to make sure that our pupils achieve the very best they are capable of."

Well done to all Year 11 pupils and to their teachers!
