Strong year for Acle Academy

Staff and students at Acle Academy are celebrating another year of strong academic results today. 

“We are delighted with the overall and personal results for our 2025 cohort who have shown great determination and aspiration to achieve their personal best in their GCSEs,” said Executive Principal Helen Watts.

Morgan Seddon, who achieved seven grade 9s a distinction and a grade 8 said: “ I am so happy with my results, I can’t believe it!”

Mrs Watts said everyone was delighted with the personal achievements of the students, particularly those with Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND).

“They have achieved fantastic results including many grades 9s and 8s. Tommy Bray, who has an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) achieved an amazing set of results, including  two grade 9s and 4 grade 8s.

He said:  “ I’m so thrilled and I just want to keep on studying now” 

Mrs Bray, Tommy’s Mum  said:  “ When Tommy started in Year 7 we didn’t think he would survive in mainstream. He couldn’t stay in a classroom in primary school, so we are so absolutely delighted that he has made it this far and achieved such wonderful results. We are so grateful to the amazing team at Acle that has supported him so well”

“It is testament to our inclusive culture that children with additional needs achieve so well at Acle Academy,” said Mrs Watts.

“I am particularly grateful to our wonderful staff who make our school community such a supportive  and caring environment which helps our students to thrive. Our staff see the potential in every child and work relentlessly to help children achieve amazing success which builds strong foundations for their future.  Well done to all students, staff and families who are celebrating the culmination of their hard work today.”
