MEA Central students celebrate GCSE success!

We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2025, who have achieved a fantastic set of GCSE results. Their determination, resilience and commitment to learning have truly paid off, and these outcomes reflect the strength of our school community.

 

This cohort faced unprecedented challenges, including a disrupted transition to secondary school due to the pandemic. Despite this, they have shown remarkable resilience and a deep commitment to our school values of citizenship, achievement and participation.

 

Our Principal, Mrs Reynard said, ‘This cohort has inspired us all. Their positivity, ambition and humour have shone through every challenge, especially given the disruption they faced at the start of their secondary journey. I am so proud of their resilience and the way they have lived our values every day.’

 

The Class of 2025 now step forward into the next chapter of their lives, ready to meet every citizen as an equal, and we couldn’t be prouder.
