• Brooke Davey – Despite having to spend some time in hospital during Year 11, Brooke’s hard work and commitment to her studies paid off. She achieved all Grade 5-9s in her 9 qualifications. Brooke is looking forward to attending Palmers college to study A levels in Biology, English and Exercise Science.

Principal, Huw Derrick, Ormiston Park Academy, said:

“We are so incredibly proud of our students and the results they have achieved. They have worked extremely hard over the last two years and I am glad that the results reflect this. 

“The academic year came to a challenging and uncertain end, but the way in which our students have responded to the circumstances has been fantastic. They really are a credit to Ormiston Park, their families and themselves. 

“This is my final Results Day, and what a way to end! In a difficult year, the students have done remarkably well, and we wish them all the very best of luck as they make the next exciting steps in their education and beyond.”

This is the final Results Day for principal Huw Derrick, who is retiring after 34 tireless years in education. Mr Derrick first joined the school in 2004 and has served as Ormiston Park’s principal since 2014, leading the school through numerous milestones and significant achievements.
