Thomas Clarkson Academy, Wisbech- well done to Jasleen!
Jasleen Kaur moved to the UK in Year 10 and had to learn English alongside her GCSE subjects and demonstrated phenomenal progress in her comprehension in an incredibly short space of time. Her grades included two 9s, four 8s, three 7s and a distinction.
The 16-year-old arrived from Spain and had to learn the new language quickly. She was delighted with her results when she opened her envelope at the academy.
“I am very happy, it’s better than I wished,” she said.
Jasleen will move into the academy Sixth Form to study maths, biology and chemistry with the long-term career aim of working in biochemistry.
Teacher Sarah West was one of her form tutors and said Jasleen had worked ‘incredibly hard’ at the academy and deserved huge praise for her achievements, considering Spanish was her first language and two years ago she had no English

Matthew Van Lier, Principal“I am so proud of every pupil at Stanground Academy. Individually they have achieved so much whilst collectively experiencing more disruption to their education than any other generation.
Their results today are nothing short of amazing and we are delighted that so many of their academic dreams can now become reality.“Pupils and staff have worked tirelessly to achieve these results and whilst most are good some stand out as being truly world class.
A grade 9 at GCSE is tough to achieve in one subject let alone 10, so my sincere congratulations go out to those pupils who achieved these top grades.“Additionally, we must congratulate the pupils who exceeded their target grades as this demonstrates their true commitment and resilience every day, well done.
These results make today truly memorable, we are excited about starting the new academic year with an expanded team of teachers and feel confident that even more dreams can become reality for the pupils of Stanground Academy.”
