AET celebrates KS4 students' success

Staff and students from across AET are celebrating their first set of exam results since 2019.

Teenagers across the country are today getting the results of their GCSE exams, which took place in May and June. The exams represent the culmination of their secondary school education and the grades students secure determine what they will go on and do next – further study, an apprenticeship or entry level role in the workplace.

The last time formal exams were sat was summer 2019. In 2020 and 2021, students’ GCSE grades were decided by teacher assessment. This year exams returned with students demonstrating what they know and understand in the exam hall.

To support the Year 11 students, AET school staff have gone the extra mile to support their students for the first in-person exams in the last two years.

All these efforts paid off, with students securing some brilliant results, including:

  • Nadiyah (Sir Herbert Leon Academy) - grade 9s in English Language, Literature, RS, History and Sociology and grade 7s in Maths and Art.

  • Norah (Richmond Park Academy) - nine grade 9s and one grade 8. She is staying at RPA for sixth form.

  • Kadija (Bexleyheath Academy) - straight grade 9s and a Distinction* grade. Kadija is going to continue her studies at Bexleyheath Academy and is intending to study A-Levels in Maths, Biology, and Chemistry.

  • Rebecca (Four Dwellings Academy) - nine grade 9s

  • Julia (Kingswood Academy) - nine grade 9s
