“On behalf of all the staff here at GPUTC, we are very proud of our 2022 cohort.

The resilience and determination they have shown over the last two years of their studies since joining us in 2020 has been exceptional.

“As the only STEM specialist school in the greater Peterborough area, we are particularly pleased with our Maths, Engineering and Manufacturing outcomes. It is great to see so many of our students moving on to study A Levels in the STEM fields,

but equally amazing to hear about all the fantastic apprenticeships secured by our students, many of which wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for their time at GPUTC and the unique opportunities and experiences they have gained here.”

David Bisley, Principal

Greater Peterborough UTC

Notable successes included Grace Gourlay who gained one grade 8 in English and one grade 7 in Maths.

She said: “Initially I was really nervous to open my results but now that I have, I feel so relieved and proud of myself for my achievements. Thank you to all the staff at GPUTC for being so supportive during my time here and I look forward to starting my Engineering Apprenticeship at Perkins Engines next month.”

Dominic Abblitt achieved three 9s, two 8s and a Level 2 Distinction in Engineering. He said: “I’m really happy with my results. It feels amazing to be one of the top achievers at the school and I’m really happy to be continuing my A Level studies here.”

Gabriel Adaes obtained a Level 2 Distinction in Engineering and will be continuing his A Level studies at GPUTC.

Tobias Hancock attained a Level 2 Merit in Engineering and will be continuing his A Level studies at GPUTC.

“I am phenomenally proud of all our Year 11 students today, and the fantastic exam results they have received.

Since the start of the pandemic this year group has shown remarkable perseverance, diligence and dedication to their studies despite the significant disruption to their learning

“The results our students have achieved are an absolute credit to them, our teachers and the whole school community. The hard work and determination of the students and the unwavering support and care that has been shown by our staff to consistently deliver high quality learning has clearly paid off, and is reflected in the results, which are our best ever.

“Our class of 2022 should be extremely proud of their achievements, and we celebrate with them and their families today. We wish all of our students every success with their next steps and look forward to welcoming many of these students back to our Sixth Form from September.”

“It has been an absolute privilege to work with this cohort of students over the past four years, culminating in watching them open their GCSE results today.

They have been on such a journey during their time at TCA, with this being the first uninterrupted school year since Year 8 and starting Year 11 not knowing if summer exams would be taking place and if so in what format.

“It has been fantastic to see these students reaping the rewards of the hard work they have put into their studies over the years. I am so excited to see what the future holds for these young people.”

Reicel Bieksaite is also remaining at Thomas Clarkson where she will be taking A Levels in psychology, biology and another, yet to be decided, science.

The 16-year-old has ambitions of reading bio-technology at university and was delighted with her results of one 9, one 7, two 6s, three 5s and a four.

Students who made significant progression in their studies also included; Monika Sabaliauskaite with one 9, one Distinction*, one 8, three 7s and four 6s; Owen Craine achieved one 8, one Distinction, six 7s and a 6 along with Kiah Jones who was awarded two 8s, four 7s and three 6s.

There were also a number of students who overcame personal barriers to achieve great results with their exams.

Scarlett Marr and Sophie O’Neill both had personal challenges but showed significant resilience and have both been accepted into the sixth form.

Artjoms Vasiljevs struggled to fully engage with his studies prior to Year 11, but he became determined to improve and exceeded all expectations. His grades include a 9, two 7s, a Distinction, two 6s, one 5 and a Merit.
