Letter from Mr Frazer, Principal

Students at Guilsborough Academy are again celebrating their ‘A’-Level and Level 3 BTEC results.  With growing numbers in the Sixth Form, more students were celebrating results which have allowed them to access a range of high level University and apprenticeship courses.  Yet again, the vast majority of students will be studying at their first choice University, with almost 1 in 5 gaining a place at a Russell Group University and two students securing a place at Oxford.

Dean Mills, Director of Sixth Form, said, “We are proud of the success our students have achieved during what has been the most challenging times.  The resilience they have demonstrated has been exceptional.”

Simon Frazer, Principal, stated, “our students deserve the excellent results they have achieved.  Supported by our amazing staff, they have shown real determination and ambition.  Our Sixth Form is really popular and, with a 100% pass rate for the examinations taken this year, we are looking forward to continuing our tradition of delivering high attainment alongside opportunities to explore the Arts and other extra curricular activities”.

Year 7 have been busy creating these fabulous artworks to celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee. We discussed all the celebrations taking place locally and nationally and how these wonderful artworks can be displayed in their windows at home to celebrate the Queen's 70th year on the throne. 

Students worked onto tracing paper with felt pens and white pencil to allow the light to pass through.

A new Sixth Form Centre has been given the perfect launch pad to success after it was officially opened by Red Arrows Pilot and RAF Flight Lieutenant, Patrick Kershaw.

On Wednesday evening, almost two years to the day that we first went into a national lockdown, Guilsborough Academy Music students were thrilled to finally be able to perform to their first live audience since March 2019.
