Munjot
Munjot is one of our top performers. Having arrived at the beginning of the academic year, he quickly took up the challenge and demonstrated the hallmark of Acorn House’s education which enables the capacity of young people to be able to produce top quality academic results . He achieved 5 A* and 4A grades and is looking forward to spending the rest of his summer playing cricket!
We are delighted that almost all of our year 11s will be continuing on to A level and hopefully towards even more success in years to come.
It is excellent to see the very hard work and strong endeavour by all the pupils from Year 9 to Year 11 rewarded with results that reflect their effort. We are delighted to see the strong progress being made by all of our pupils. They have much to be proud of and we will continue to focus on best quality teaching and learning as we start our new academic year shortly.
“I’m delighted for our GCSE students who in 2015 have achieved some of the best results in the College’s history. Our small-group exam-focused teaching has clearly paid dividends again and it is with some pride that I look forward to welcoming back this exceptional group of young people into the sixth form next year. Fantastic stuff!”
