Students at The Holgate Academy – part of Diverse Academies Trust – came together today to celebrate their GCSE results. There was a fantastic atmosphere as students opened their results and shared the moment with teachers, families and friends.

Principal, Henry Diamond, said: “We are incredibly proud of our students and the hard work they have shown throughout their time at The Holgate Academy. Today is a chance to celebrate not only their results, but the dedication, resilience and determination that have brought them to this point. We wish every student the very best and look forward to welcoming many of our students back in September as they continue their studies at our sixth form centre.”
