Corby Technical School students celebrate excellent GCSE results

There was a buzz of excitement at Corby Technical School today, as 150 students celebrated their GCSE results and looked forward to their further education plans.

Angela Reynolds, Principal at Corby Technical School, part of Brooke Weston Trust, said: "We’re proud to see some outstanding results from our students today that are greatly deserved, and we are exceptionally proud of each of them.

"These results reflect our students' dedication and perseverance, setting a strong foundation for their future endeavours. They're a testament to both their hard work and the supportive learning environment we foster at Corby Technical School.

"I want to congratulate our students and extend a huge thank you to our teachers, staff, parents, and carers for their invaluable support. Whilst examination success is always lovely to celebrate, we are also extremely proud of the way in which our young people have developed throughout their time with us.”

Students arrived at Corby Technical School this morning to collect their GCSE results, where the atmosphere was filled with anticipation as they received their envelopes. Staff were on hand to support students in making decisions about their next steps. Many students will join the school’s sixth form, while others are pursuing apprenticeships in various fields, including Cassidy R who will be doing Brick laying, Kurtis M who will be doing an Engineering apprenticeship with Tata Steel and Leonie F who will be pursuing a career in nursery care through an apprenticeship route. Teachers and our career advisor provided guidance to help students navigate their future paths.

Our Art department was extremely proud of the results gained, including 9s from Ruby and Urszula and 8s from Lily and Angela. In English, some of our top performers included grade 9s from Olivia P and 8s from Marian, Gretil and Arina and a 7 from Dylan. In Sport, numerous students gained distinctions and distinction stars including Kacper L, Rene H and Roman G. Rene is planning to return to CTS as a PE technician apprentice. Our physicists shone with 5 students achieving a grade 9, and Food GCSE also produced some fantastic results and many students excelled in this specialism including Esosa I’s grade 8 which she and her teacher were thrilled with. Overall, Maya A achieved eight grade 9s and two grade 8s, Zhivo K received seven grade 9s and two grade 8s, Ollie J got four grade 9s, five grade 8s and a Distinction. Isabella W was awarded four grade 9s, four grade 8s and a grade 7.

Mrs. Reynolds added: “Our year 11 students have been wonderful role models for our younger students, and we have high expectations for the next cohort to build upon the successes of this year. We are excited to be introducing Art Photography and Business as new courses into our sixth form and I am looking forward to meeting the new year 12 cohort in September.”

Andy Burns, Director of Education at Brooke Weston Trust, remarked: "I am incredibly proud of our students for their outstanding GCSE results. Their success is a testament to their hard work and resilience, combined with the invaluable support of their families and the exceptional learning environment created by our wonderful staff. Together, they all embody our core value of Ambition For All.”
