Congratulations and well done to our Post 16 students for the results that they were awarded today.  In these strange times it was sad that they did not have the chance to truly celebrate the achievement of their hard work and effort but I am confident that over the next few days they will all be able to find time to revel in the successful conclusion of their school education and look forward to the opportunities ahead, whether that be further education or employment. 

The results are the best ever achieved in the history of the academy and include some outstanding outcomes, with the vast majority being offered places at their first choice university.    The last six months have been a challenge for the whole country and especially our young people, they should remain proud of what they have achieved whatever the circumstances.  I would like to finish by saying “THANK YOU” to the students for being members of the Alec Reed Academy family, the parents for placing their trust in us as an organisation and the teachers and wider staff that have underpinned the learning that has taken place so that these results could be achieved.
