Purple Oaks celebrate first GCSE success

As a new academy, which opened in September 2017, these pupils are the first Year 11 cohort. Pupils at Purple Oaks Academy all have an Education, Health and Care Plan and have autism and/or severe learning difficulties.

The academy is pleased to announce a year of brilliant results for pupils, despite the challenges of the pandemic.

Three pupils will remain at Purple Oaks Academy to join the first cohort of Post 16 pupils. The remaining five pupils will move onto courses at Northampton College and The BeeHive.

Special mentions:

Jack Cowdell, who successfully achieved grades in maths, science, English and art.
Aaron Azille, who achieved a grade in English, which comes after he discovered a love of reading during his time at Purple Oaks Academy. He also achieved grades in science and maths.
Nathan Kelly, who earned grades in science, maths and English.
Jacob Stolz, who is celebrating grades in English and science.

We are impressed with the achievements all of our pupils. These results are a testament to their hard work. It is very challenging for young people with complex autism and severe learning difficulties to be able to access GCSE courses. Sitting the exams and achieving the results they have is something they, and their families, should be rightly proud of.
“These results show the progress these pupils have made over five years, and in particular their improved ability to work independently and regulate their emotions. I am grateful to the whole academy team for the support they have given the pupils to reach this point.”

It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to be part of #teamabbeyfield and I know the school will continue to go from strength to strength.”
