CONTINUING UPWARD TREND OF SUCCESS FOR ST EDMUND’S

Following publication of the school league tables on 19 January, St Edmund’s Catholic Academy were very pleased to see that they are continuing their upward trend of success in Wolverhampton.

As an oversubscribed secondary academy, with a steadily growing Sixth Form, they feel they are on the threshold of outstanding.

Their vibrant Sixth Form, where 100 per cent of students last year were successful and 18 per cent of grades achieved were at A* / A, currently has 110 potential students signed up for admission in September 2017 and the number is still growing.

Acting Head of Sixth, Miss Roach commented ‘Our light and airy Sixth Form area, combined with choice of courses on offer, make St Edmund’s hard to resist.  We look forward to welcoming our new students later in the year’.

In years 7-11 the Academy is oversubscribed year on year with steadily improving results following the good Ofsted inspection in March 2016.

Mrs Hughes, Principal, added ‘Our continued upward trend is due to the sheer hard work of our students, staff and stakeholders.  Since we moved to our new location on Compton Park nearly four years ago, we continue to grow as a close community based on our strong Catholic ethos.  All our students are valued and nurtured to achieve their utmost potential’.
