Ellie Jacobs, Interim Principal at North Oxfordshire Academy, said:  

“Our students have worked incredibly hard over the past couple of years so it’s brilliant to see them secure some fantastic results. With these qualifications, they can now prepare to take their next steps into Sixth Form and further education knowing what their efforts can achieve.

“I would like to thank staff for their dedication to our students and for the tireless support they have provided. With some strong successes this summer, we very much look forward to the new academic year, in which we will be welcoming many of our Year 11s back for Sixth Form in September.”
