Congratulations to all of our A Level and GCSE students who have received their results this week. Despite the challenges of the pandemic over the past 18 months, our students have continued to show resilience, dedication and positivity in their approach to their studies and we are incredibly proud of them and their fantastic achievements!

“Today we celebrate much more than the students’ academic success. The achievements of this cohort are remarkable in the context of the huge obstacles to their education that they have faced since they started their studies in September 2019, greater than any generation of students since World War Two. In spite of these challenges, our students have shown exceptional resilience and determination in the face of adversity, engaging independently with their studies online, and completing their courses, knowing that their summer examinations had been cancelled."

Jon Malone, Academy Principal of St Simon Stock, Maidstone

We would like to say a huge thank you to our staff, who have ensured the consistent and continual provision of high quality teaching and support for all of our students, both in the classroom and also via virtual lessons; and thanks must, of course, also go to the parents and carers who have supported our students so brilliantly throughout the recent periods of lockdown and disruption to their daily lives. By working together we can all help our students to achieve the very best outcomes.

We now look forward to the start of the new academic year and the new opportunities & experiences that it will bring.

‘With God all things are possible.’

Matthew 19:26
