Students celebrate GCSE and vocational exam success

Students and staff at Bourne Academy are celebrating yet another fantastic year of academic and vocational success with highly impressive results across the diverse curriculum of 23 different GCSE and BTEC subjects.

In addition to English and Mathematics, the top four subjects where students have achieved grades 7 or above are Biology, Health & Social Care, Performing Arts and Sport Science. There has also been a notable increase in grades 9 to 5 in Sociology.

Mrs Lucy Conley, Chief Executive Officer said “As the top performing non-selective school in the whole of Lincolnshire with a Progress 8 Score of +0.59 in 2024, these impressive examinations results indicate that students at Bourne Academy are once again performing ‘well above’ the national average. This year, these outstanding GCSE results have meant that half of the students from Bourne Academy will be progressing to our SLAT Sixth Form, which is expecting to enrol a record number of students with even more students from Spalding Academy and other local secondary schools.”

The impressive GCSE and Vocational grades have been replicated across every school that are part of South Lincolnshire Academies Trust and reflects how well students are fully supported. The continued progress of the summer examination results at Bourne Academy highlights the strength of the quality of education and the wide variety of initiatives that students have been eager to take advantage of.

Bourne Academy have offered extra revision sessions during the Easter and May Half Term holidays, where students choose additional two-hour lessons on specific subjects. In term time, during lunchtimes and after-school, subject staff have provided homework and revision clubs as part of their enrichment programmes. The Trust has also invested in online learning resources that students have been able to utilise as part of their revision tools. This dedication to go above and beyond has ensured students can be rewarded for their hard work and dedication.

Mrs Lucy Conley added “This set of results is a testament to the incredible hard work of our students and staff, and reflects the students’ hard work and commitment to their studies. As a Trust with non-selective schools, I am immensely proud of the achievements of every single student who have grown into amazing young people with bright futures. The results across all the schools that are part of South Lincolnshire Academies Trust demonstrates our commitment to school improvement, and we offer students in Lincolnshire the best opportunities possible and help them to aspire to be the best they can be. I wish all our students the very best in the next phase of their educational endeavours whether this be Sixth Form, College or an apprenticeship.”
