GCSE results: Darwen Aldridge Community Academy

56% of students achieved at least five GCSEs, including English and mathematics.

The Academy has significantly improved on the best ever achieved at Darwen Moorland (31%), the school it replaced in 2008.

Overall 97% of students secured five or more GCSEs at Grade A*-C, up from 90% last year.

DACA Principal Brendan Loughran said that everyone associated with the Academy is delighted and very proud of the achievements of the students.

He said: “I have nothing but praise for our students for their determination to succeed and thank the staff and the parents for their dedication and support.

"In addition to moving in to the new facilities and a Royal visit, the A Level and GCSE results conclude what has been an outstanding year for the Academy.”

Vice Principal Fiona Beaumont said: "The results include record numbers of Academy students gaining the top A*/A grades and highlighted that by giving some students the opportunity to take GCSEs early, students in year’s 9 and 10 have also achieved some very good grades, laying the foundation for future success.”
