Students, families and staff at Leigh Academy Tonbridge (formerly Hayesbrook Academy) are celebrating excellent GCSE results this year. Overall, 67% of pupils achieved the benchmark of a 4+ in English and maths and 42% of pupils achieved 5+ in English and maths.
Michael Crow, Principal commented, “We are absolutely thrilled for our students who have achieved some outstanding results in a year when grade boundaries have risen so significantly. The results are testament to their efforts and we couldn’t be prouder of them!”
With excellent results for the academy there are a number of stand out grades, including 15% of all grades above a grade 7 across a number of subjects. Students who study vocational subjects performed equally well with 49% of pupils achieving at least a Distinction in business and 37% in sport.
