Michelle Dyer, principal at Avonbourne Boys’ and Girls’ Academies, said: “I’m over the moon with the excellent results achieved by our students at Avonbourne Boys’ and Girls’ Academies. After a particularly challenging few years due to the pandemic, our students have worked tirelessly with teachers to achieve their very best. They have demonstrated immense resilience and scholarship, and their achievements – many of which are within the top grade brackets of 7, 8 and 9 – are a credit to that.
“It is particularly pleasing to compound this week’s results with the fantastic achievements of our Sixth Form last week. Our Year 11s look up to their role models at United Sixth Form and are excited to follow in their footsteps as they continue their academic journeys in Year 12 next year. Congratulations to everyone in our school community for this shared success.”
