WALTHAMSTOW ACADEMY CELEBRATES BEST EVER A-LEVEL RESULTS

~Students set to take up places at universities across the Country~

We are today celebrating our best ever set of A Level results with 44% of all results being an A*or an A.

Welcoming the results, Emma Skae, Principal of Walthamstow Academy, said:

“We are incredibly proud of each of our Sixth Formers celebrating their results today. Every single one of them has worked immensely hard to achieve these grades. We are very pleased to see our Sixth Form becoming such a strength of the Academy. I would like to give my huge thanks to all the dedicated staff at the Academy who put in unbelievable effort for all of our students to ensure they were able to achieve their very best.

Our students have aspiration, they work hard and they are committed to make the most of the opportunities that life offers them. From here our Sixth Formers will go to university or to college and will begin their adult lives with strength and confidence. I feel very proud of each and every one of them and I know their parents will be incredibly proud and excited as well”.

Amongst those celebrating were:

• Zainab Iqbal, who was awarded two Bs in history and English Literature and an A* in Sociology. Zainab will be studying History at the London School of Economics, which is one of the top five universities in the UK.  
• Jesse Manful, an Academy Council Representative, was awarded a double distinction in BTEC ICT and a C in Sociology. He will be going to Brunel to study Mechanical Engineering.
• Tia Walker, who has wanted to be a physiotherapist since she was very young, achieved a double distinction in BTEC Sports and a B in English Literature.
• Arilda Nazmiu and Ruke Nezaj were both accepted to Kingston University to study Business Management. Both achieved a triple distinction in Business Studies. Ruke actually got the highest number of points in the whole Academy, with 400. Close friends, the girls are happy to be going to the same university. Both students, coming from Kosovo, have English as an additional language. 

Quotes from students:

"My time at the academy has been a fun and enjoyable experience. I have got to study a course that really excited and challenged me. The staff and students have been really supportive and caring. I know I have been in good hands here with my future and feel really proud of what I have achieved."

Arilda Nazmiu

"The academy has been a home from home experience with all the teachers supporting me throughout the year whenever I needed them. As a result I have achieved three distinctions in business which has enabled me to get into Kingston making me a proud student to have attended Walthamstow Academy."

Ruke Nezaj

"I feel fantastic as I have achieved the results I worked so hard for and would not have been able to do it without the support the teachers provided; I finally depart on my journey to become a Primary School teacher."

Danny Mock

“'Knowledge is Power', in saying so I have enjoyed learning with students nurtured in an environment brewed for the best in everyone."

I am delighted to welcome you to Walthamstow Academy. Choosing the right education for your child is an important decision.  Parents want the very best for their children and the certainty that they will be encouraged to reach the highest standards possible, gaining the skills, qualifications and confidence to fulfil their dreams and ambitions.

I want our students to be inspired by their achievements and talents - whatever they are.  We offer a broad curriculum and an environment for learning which inspires all of our students to try and achieve all the things we might never have thought possible.

Walthamstow Academy is one of a family of academies sponsored by the United Learning Trust (ULT).  It is the largest single sponsor of academies in the UK and has a proven track record in education.  ULT's aim, which we share, is to bring out 'the best in everyone' - students, staff and the wider academy community.

At Walthamstow Academy we offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which our students feel happy, safe and supported to be able to achieve their best.  Since we opened in September 2006, we have begun to develop a school which its students and the people of Walthamstow can be proud to call their own.

The academy has provided an essential focus point for the local community and is in fact becoming the first choice of school for local families.  If you want to be part of making this happen - as a parent, a student or as a member of staff - I hope that what you see on this website will inspire you to get in touch.

I look forward to meeting you.
Ms Emma Skae
Principal
