News & Events Amazing Success for Results Day 2023
The students who have received their results in any formal qualification or award this year have shown great resiliency in their commitment to learning and therefore have achieved some exceptional outcomes:
Many of our students start at an Options school having been out of education for some time or having huge gaps in their learning journeys. Often, they have very negative views of schooling and low self-confidence about their ability to learn and achieve. Our job is to help build back up their confidence in all areas of their life and development, whilst delivering the formal education they deserve. With that in mind, results day always creates a great chance to pause and celebrate the hard work of everyone involved: our students, our staff, parents and carers. However, it is also a chance to celebrate not only the formal qualifications but also all the other ways that young people have developed during their time with us, and the huge progress they have made towards their next steps.
Four pupils at Underley Garden School took their GCSEs this year, but one pupil’s story really stands out. Lewis has been so determined to challenge himself this year; he became so confident in his own ability that he went for the higher paper in Math’s and went on to achieve a grade 5.
Nicola Harper, Headteacher at Underley Garden School, told us “We knew he could do it. Lewis is now going on to college to do Engineering Technology as well as continuing some learning with us at Underley and holding down a part-time job in the local community – we couldn’t be prouder.”
We are so proud of our students, and we wish all our leavers a fond farewell and best wishes for their future endeavours.
