Today, students and staff at Goodwin Academy, located on Hamilton Road and part of Thinking Schools Academy Trust, are celebrating as this year’s A Level results are revealed.
The results recognise the commitment, ambition and determination shown by students throughout their sixth form studies and mark the beginning of exciting new opportunities as they prepare for the next stage of their journeys.
Alongside the school's overall success and the significant improvement in value added outcomes across applied subjects, many students achieved exceptional individual results, including:
