This year’s GCSE Results Day saw “excited” students and staff at Tenbury High Ormiston Academy celebrating their achievements and hard work.

After a very successful year for the Ormiston Academies Trust academy, they were delighted to congratulate their Year 11 students of 2024.

With the support of staff and the whole academy community, the students have been working exceptionally hard to secure these grades over the past couple of years. Whilst all the academy’s GCSE successes were recognised and celebrated, Tenbury High wanted to acknowledge individuals with standout performances.

The results follow the academy receiving a glowing Ofsted report in June which judged the school to be Good in all areas. The inspection confirmed the success of what inspectors said were “impressive and significant” changes that the school has made over the last year.

Tenbury High Ormiston Academy say they are “fully committed to a vision of high achievement and outstanding, personalised care for its students. By being part of Ormiston, the academy strives to ensure every child can thrive, regardless of their background, by providing the best learning environments both inside and outside the classroom”.

Vicki Dean, Principal at Tenbury High Ormiston Academy, said “seeing our Year 11 students succeed is immensely rewarding. They have put in tremendous effort, and their GCSE results are really well-deserved.

"After a successful year for our academy, including our recent Good Ofsted rating, we have really enjoyed celebrating our Year 11 students today, and marking the hard work which has gone into achieving their success. I very much look forward to seeing what they achieve next."
