Claire Cartledge, Interim Principal at Sheffield Springs Academy, said:  

“Well done to all our Year 11s for the GCSE results they received today. It is fantastic to see students achieving the grades they worked hard for and which will enable them to take their next steps into Sixth Form or College. Thank you to staff across the school for ensuring our students have everything they need to achieve progress, both in their academic education and more widely. With this year marking a return to standardised assessments and grading, we look forward to building on this set of results for the future.”
