Today students at Rye Hills Academy celebrated after receiving their eagerly anticipated GCSE results with some brilliant performances which demonstrate our school’s rapid ongoing improvements.
Hard work and determination paid off across the year group with many students achieving fantastic grades including:
- Lucy Kelly achieved grade 8 and above in every subject, including 8 grade 9s.
- Eleanor Whitwell and Daisy Jackson achieved 6 grade 9s.
- Eveie Boffey achieved a grade 8 in every subject and 4 grade 9s.
There were also significant improvements in the number of students obtaining strong passes in English and maths.
Our Headteacher, Hijab Zaheer, said:
“I am immensely proud of what our students have achieved today - their hard work has paid off and they have seen what can happen when you put your mind to something. Despite the pandemic disrupting their education, they persevered and have now proven to themselves and each other that they could do it.
“Rye Hills is on a rapid journey of improvement with big changes happening across every aspect of our school - I am hugely ambitious for the children of Redcar and am working as hard as I can with a fantastic team of dedicated staff behind me to ensure that we become one of the very best schools in the whole region - these results are another step in the right direction.”
Chair of Governors, Maggie Saxton, added:
“The results this year show that Rye Hills Academy provides a strong academic and personal foundation which will pave the way for the rest of their lives. Good luck to our GCSE students in your next chapters.”
Chief Executive Officer of the school’s sponsor, the North East Learning Trust, Lesley Powell CBE, added:
“Since joining North East Learning Trust in 2021, we have seen Rye Hills go from strength to strength. These results reflect the positive changes that have been put in place to improve the outcomes for our young people and allow them to reach their full potential.”
