The Outwood Family is once again celebrating the success of its students, who overcame two of the most challenging years the education sector has faced by showing an inspirational amount of resilience. 

This cohort of students started their GCSE studies in September 2020 following national lockdowns and school closures. COVID-19 then added further disruption to their education, yet despite this, students have continued to work hard and GCSE results day marked their efforts.

Julie Slater, Chief Executive Secondary at the Outwood Family, said:

“These results are the just rewards for the inspirational resilience and determination shown by students and staff, during two of the most challenging years the education sector has ever faced.

“At Outwood, we sincerely believe ourselves to be a family and we are driven by putting students first, raising standards and transforming lives.

“I am beyond proud of the achievements of our students, and I am in awe of the young people they have become. I wish them the very best for the future and if they continue with the same work ethic as they’ve displayed over the last couple of years, I am certain they will be successful in whatever they choose to do. It has been an absolute privilege to celebrate today with students and their families.”
