“We have celebrated some wonderful GCSE achievements at Swindon Academy in 2022. It is particularly pleasing that, given the disruptions caused by the pandemic over the last two years, our Year 11s have achieved so highly. I’d also like to thank and congratulate our excellent team of staff for taking our students’ learning from strength to strength.

“I know how excited our Year 11 students are to begin their Sixth Form journeys -  many of them at United College Sixth Form based at Swindon Academy. I look forward to progressing our academic offering so that we can continue to offer the best possible futures for our young people.”
