Across a wide range of subjects, including English, maths, science, history, geography, construction, sport, art, performing arts, and modern foreign languages, our students have undoubtedly demonstrated the academy’s values of hard work, ambition, confidence and creativity to secure these results. They should be so proud of their achievements. We’re feeling very proud to be NCA today.”

She added: “These results are a testament to the dedication of our staff, the support of families, and the determination of our students. We wish all our students the very best as they take the next step in their educational journeys, and we can’t wait to see what they go on to achieve next.”
