Best Results Ever – A Huge Congratulations to our Class of 2026

20 Aug 2026

A massive well done to all of our Year 11 students at Park Vale for securing the best ever performance at Key Stage 4 by quite some distance. As most of our parents will know, the academy has been on an upward trajectory for a number of years now but the class of 2026 have delivered a massive uplift in performance even by our usual standards. For example, Attainment 8 (overall performance) for this year is 46.0 (last year 42.8). And in terms of the Basics (Maths and English), 65.6% achieved a 4 or above in both subjects (last year 57.5) and for 5 or above the figure was 42.5% (last year 37%).

There were a lot of students achieving the very top grades as well with this year’s stand out performer being Jacob Miles-Stewart who secured five grade 9’s, three grade 8’s and one grade 7.

However, the main headline is that nearly all of the students have exceeded expectations and so deserve enormous credit for all of the hard work they put into their exams. Congratulations to you all and enjoy that sweet taste of success!
