Former pupils returned to the academy to collect their well-deserved GCSE certificates, marking the successful conclusion of their secondary education. The evening was a fantastic opportunity for our alumni to catch up with their former teachers and peers, reminiscing about their time at the academy and sharing their next steps in education and careers.

The highlight of the evening was the presentation of special awards. Beyond academic success, the academy recognised alumni for outstanding subject recognition across various departments. Crucially, awards were also presented to pupils who demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our core Co-op Values throughout their time here.

These prestigious awards celebrated those who consistently embodied:

• Succeed Together: Recognising collaboration and teamwork.

• Do What Matters Most: Highlighting dedication and impactful work.

• Show You Care: Celebrating kindness and community spirit.

• Be Yourself, Always: Honouring authenticity and confidence.

"It was an absolute pleasure to have the Class of 2025 back in the building," said Mrs McLean, Assistant Vice Principal. "Seeing them collect their certificates and celebrating their achievement, both academic and personal, was incredibly rewarding. Their success is a true testament to their hard work and their commitment to the values we hold dear."

We wish the Class of 2025 all the best in their future endeavours and encourage them to stay connected with the academy as part of our valued alumni network.
