Josiah added: “North Oxfordshire Academy has been so supportive of me and given me so many opportunities. I have enjoyed my time at the school and am so grateful to the staff. Thank you!”
Students at the school have also earned places on some high-quality apprenticeships. This includes Oliver Wearing, who will be moving on to an apprenticeship at Waitrose, as well as Teegan Hughes, who has secured a coveted Civil Service apprenticeship and will begin work in Birmingham in September.
Ellie Jacobs, Principal at North Oxfordshire Academy, said: “Today’s results celebrate far more than grades. They recognise the ambition our students have shown in pursuing their aspirations, the integrity with which they have approached every challenge, and the determination that has carried them through moments of uncertainty and hard work. Their success is richly deserved, and we are excited to see the positive impact they will make in the future.”
