The Oakwood Academy, part of Redhill Academy Trust, celebrated recent exam results as over half of students achieved the important benchmark of obtaining at least a grade 4 in maths, English and science.

Headteacher Mr Andrew Gilbert said: "This group of students were hard working and committed to their achievement. They worked well together and with staff, leading to outstanding individual performances, and we are delighted that so many students have excellent results, reflecting their ability, effort and commitment.”

"They have been well-prepared by our committed and skilful staff, to whom I am grateful for their conscientious hard work in teaching, supporting and nurturing students throughout their time at the school."

The highest achieving student was Isis Schmitt, who achieved three grade 9s and three grade 7s. Isis said "I am thankful for all of the support that the school has given me. Being a foreign student, I am especially delighted to get a grade 9 in English Literature”. She will go on to Nottingham College to study A levels in Computer Science and Spanish and a BTEC in Sports Studies.

Affan Minnoor was the highest achieving male student, achieving two grade 9s, one grade 8 and two grade 7s. Affan said “It is very rewarding to get two grade 9’s.
