Trinity Catholic College in Middlesbrough headteacher Michael Blair is delighted to be celebrating another year of improved results, which he said reflect students’ continued progress.
He said:
“It’s wonderful to celebrate the achievements of our pupils, who have enjoyed great success across a wide range of subjects. Their results are a testament to their hard work, determination and commitment.”
“It is especially encouraging to see a growing proportion of our pupils achieving the highest grades of 9 to 7 this year, alongside further increases in those securing grades 4 and 5.”
Subjects including Science, English, Maths and Geography all showed further improvements, while Engineering, Construction and Hospitality & Catering also performed particularly well, reinforcing the school’s strength and success across STEM and vocational subjects.
Mr Blair said:
“Staff and pupils have worked exceptionally well together, particularly over the past year, and their shared commitment and determination have played a key role in driving continued progress.
“Building on the success of last week’s A-Level results, we have also seen strong progress across the sciences, with Physics, Chemistry and Biology all achieving 100% pass rates at grade 4 and above.
“We are especially proud of those pupils who have gone above and beyond in their studies this year, with their hard work, determination and commitment enabling them to achieve grades beyond their targets.
“This success reflects the dedication, determination and commitment our staff demonstrate every day, together with the outstanding pastoral care and support provided to our pupils.
“It is also a testament to the character and resilience of this remarkable cohort. Having experienced significant disruption from lockdowns at the end of their primary education, they have overcome considerable challenges.
“Despite these barriers, they have shown tremendous determination, resilience and ambition to achieve their very best.
“We wish them all the very best of luck for their futures – and congratulate them on their efforts and successes.”
There is still time to join our amazing sixth form to study a range of academic and vocational courses. To apply for a place at Trinity Sixth Form, email [email protected].
