Oldham school is top of the class
Oldham Academy North receives a national award for its pupils' achievements.
The Oldham Academy North has been nationally recognised for its exceptional 2015 performance by the Schools, Students and Teachers network (SSAT) which puts it in the top 10% nationally for progress made by pupils.
It is a massive pat on the back for the school for the achievement made by students between their Key Stage Two SATS results at primary school and their Key Stage Four GCSE results.
The school’s SSAT Educational Outcomes award will be presented at a regional celebration event held to draw attention to the work of high-achieving, improving and innovating schools and teachers.
Sue Williamson, Chief Executive of SSAT said: ‘It’s my great pleasure to commend The Oldham Academy North on their excellent 2015 performance, and to have the opportunity to highlight and share their great work at the SSAT Educational Outcomes celebration evening. I have the privilege of visiting a lot of schools and I am always impressed by the creativity of teachers in engaging and inspiring their students.
‘I hope that SSAT’s Educational Outcomes award will highlight the professionalism, commitment and hard work of the leaders, teachers and students at The Oldham Academy North.
"Recognising and sharing successes like this is at the heart of SSAT’s mission, so I’m delighted to congratulate The Oldham Academy North on their achievement.’
Martin Knowles, Principal at the Academy said: "I am absolutely delighted that we are now in the top 10%.
"The fantastic work of our staff, students, families, partners and our sponsor is incredible. This is truly a team effort and is continued recognition from the SSAT of The Oldham Academy North’s journey of providing a world class education for all."
