Every year at Ebbsfleet we celebrate our community language outcomes for students taking GCSEs in their home language. These students, some taking exams as early as Year 10, have achieved exceptional results with a 100% grade 5-9 pass rate in the following subjects: Arabic, Chinese, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Urdu. This additional qualification adds strength to the opportunities created for these students, and is representative of the diversity within our Ebbsfleet family.
Principal, Gurjit Kaur Shergill commented, “These outcomes are yet again a demonstration of the firm belief embedded in the Academy, that there is no ceiling to what our young people can achieve. They represent the hard work, determination and fortitude demonstrated by our students and staff on a daily basis. For every one of our students, whether they are taking up a place in our Sixth Form provision, moving on to another educational context, starting an apprenticeship or pursuing a different pathway, we are pleased that these results represent an exceptional start and will ensure their success for the future. Congratulations to all our students, and on behalf of the whole Ebbsfleet Academy family, we wish you the very best for the future. I look forward to welcoming many of our students back in September to begin their post-16 studies with us! I am immensely proud of the hard work and efforts of my entire staff, governors and of course the students and their parents in pulling together to achieve the best results possible, enabling our students to transition securely and with confidence into the next stage of their educational journey and future career success. I am proud to be leaving the Academy on such a high. It goes to show just what can be achieved when this community comes together as one.”
Well done to all of Year 11s this year!
