Everyone at Ormiston Bushfield Academy is thrilled with the progress of so many individuals, although the top performing students often steal the headlines, the academy celebrates with all students who have overcome so much this year. As a result of today’s success there is an increasing number of students moving into OBA’s Sixth Form.
Principal Dennis Kirwan, said: “We are very proud of all our Year 11 students, today marks the end of a long but rewarding journey. It has been another year of twists and turns with the global pandemic but our students have demonstrated a remarkable resilience and courage throughout. Many of our students are continuing to study with us in our sixth form, I am delighted to be welcoming them back in September. I would like to thank all our students, their families, our staff and the wider school community for their ongoing support and we look forward to seeing our students progress on to the next stage of their education and fulfil their goals.”
This year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the government decided that young people’s grades would be determined by teachers, based on work students produced throughout their course. These grades were then moderated and assessed by external exam boards which awarded the final grades.
