Following last week’s outstanding A-level outcomes, where over 20 per cent of students securing A* and A grades, these results reflect the ambition that defines Abbeywood.
“These results are a testament to the hard work of our students, the commitment of our staff, and the support of parents and carers. Every set of results tells a different story, but together they show what can be achieved when a community of students, staff and parents work as one to help young people thrive. The success of our students continues to build confidence in Abbeywood, with a record number of families applying to join us this September. We are delighted that this Year 11 cohort has raised the bar once again, and I look forward to seeing them, along with the next generation of Abbeywood students, continue to flourish and achieve great things.”

“We know that success looks different for every young person, and we are proud not only of the grades achieved but of the resilience, maturity and determination our students have shown throughout their time at Abbeywood. It has been wonderful to see so many students leave with the qualifications, confidence and aspirations to take their next steps successfully.
“I’d like to thank our staff, parents and carers for the role they have played in supporting this fantastic year group. These achievements are the result of a genuine partnership, and we look forward to seeing what our students go on to achieve.”

As they enter the next stage of their lives whether that be at Abbeywood, College or an Apprenticeship we know that the skills students have shown during their time at Abbeywood will set them up for success moving forward and we wish them the best.”
