As schools across our Trust celebrate another year of achievement, we are proud to recognise not only the excellent outcomes secured by our pupils but also the dedication, resilience and ambition they have shown throughout their educational journey. 

The journey begins in our Early Years settings, where children develop the skills, confidence and curiosity that underpin future learning. 

Under the leadership of Trust Early Years Lead, Esther Rees, our Early Years provision continues to go from strength to strength, with all our Trust primary schools achieving outcomes for Good Level of Development (GLD) that are above national averages and in line with or above Bromley averages. These outcomes reflect the exceptional quality of teaching, care and support provided across our settings and demonstrate our commitment to giving every child the strongest possible start to their education. 

"Our Early Years teams work tirelessly to create stimulating and nurturing environments where children flourish. These outcomes are a testament to the expertise and dedication of our staff and, most importantly, to the wonderful children and families we work alongside each day," said Esther Rees. 

Reading remains at the heart of our curriculum, and we are delighted that all Trust primary schools achieved Year 1 Phonics Screening outcomes that met or exceeded national averages. These results demonstrate the success of our shared commitment to ensuring every child develops the essential reading skills needed to access the wider curriculum and foster a lifelong love of reading. 

Trust Reading Lead, Debbie Rice, said: "Learning to read is one of the most important milestones in a child's education. We are incredibly proud that pupils across all our schools continue to achieve such strong phonics outcomes. These results reflect the expertise of our staff, the support of families and the determination of our pupils." 

Our pupils continue to excel in mathematics, with all Trust schools achieving outcomes in the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check that exceeded national averages. This achievement highlights the secure mathematical foundations being developed across our schools and the consistency of high-quality teaching that enables pupils to succeed.   

As our Year 6 pupils prepare to embark on the next stage of their educational journey, we congratulate them on all they have achieved and wish them every success as they move on to secondary school. We are particularly proud of the strong mathematics outcomes, a particular highlight this year is the impressive number of pupils attaining Greater Depth in Mathematics. We know that these pupils leave our primary schools not only with excellent academic foundations but also with the confidence, resilience and character needed to thrive in the years ahead. 

At Key Stage 4, pupils across the Trust have once again achieved strong outcomes, reflecting their hard work, determination and the high-quality teaching they receive. Particularly pleasing were the consistently high proportions of pupils securing strong passes in English and Mathematics GCSEs, with all our secondary schools achieving rates well above national averages. Outcomes in English were especially impressive, with several schools recording over three-quarters of pupils achieving a Grade 5 or above.  

Trust English Lead, Sam Rees, said: "These outcomes reflect the dedication of our pupils and the unwavering commitment of staff across the Trust. We are particularly pleased to see such strong performance in English, demonstrating pupils' ability to communicate, analyse and think critically, skills that will serve them well throughout their lives." 

Our sixth forms also continue to provide exceptional opportunities for students to achieve highly and progress confidently to university, apprenticeships and employment. This year, students across the Trust have once again secured strong outcomes at both A Level and BTEC, with many measures exceeding national performance. Alongside these strong outcomes, the Trust achieved an overall pass rate of 98% exceeding national average, demonstrating secure achievement across all sixth form settings. 

Across our schools A Level average point scores continue to exceed national figures. A-level results remained strong, with particularly strong performance in A*-B and A*-C grades at Trust schools. A Level value-added measures remain positive or above national benchmarks in many of our schools, reflecting the excellent progress students make during their time with us. BTEC outcomes have also remained strong, with high proportions of students achieving Distinction to Merit grades. 

These outcomes are particularly pleasing because they represent far more than examination grades. They reflect years of hard work, ambition and personal growth, supported by dedicated staff who are committed to helping every student achieve their potential. 

We also know that while results provide an important measure of progress, they tell only part of the story. Across our schools, we are committed to developing confident, compassionate and capable young people who are ready to embrace the opportunities ahead of them. Whether pupils have achieved the grades they hoped for or are considering their next steps, we are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished.  

As we celebrate these achievements, we would like to thank our staff, pupils, parents and governing bodies for their continued commitment to excellence. 

From our youngest learners taking their first steps in education to our sixth form students preparing for their futures, we are proud of every child and young person across the Trust. Together, these results reflect a community where ambition is nurtured, opportunities are created and every pupil is encouraged to flourish.
