The Academy saw 26 top grade 9s or equivalent being awarded.

Grade 4 or above in English was achieved by 73% while those recording grades 9 to 7 in Maths and English combined improved.

The number of students gaining a standard or strong pass in Maths also increased on last year.

Delight for these students

Exactly half of Chemistry students achieved grades 9 to 7 and 66% recorded a strong pass (grade 5 or above) in History.

There was an 11% improvement in those achieving grade 4 or above in Modern Foreign Languages.

Ruby Fox (16) added: “I’m very happy today and think I’ve done really well. I am going on to KEVIGS to do A-levels in Maths, PE and Biology. Louth Academy has been really good for me. I’ve been here since Year 7 and I probably wouldn’t have got these results without them because they’ve all been fantastic.”
