Pride and Achievement as North Durham Academy Celebrates Class of 2026 Results

Students have worked incredibly hard throughout their time at the school and today provided an opportunity to celebrate their determination, dedication and individual successes.

There were some particularly strong performances across several subject areas, including Art, Photography, Chemistry, Physics and Spanish, while seven subjects achieved 100% of grades at 4–9 a great achievement for the students and staff involved.

The school’s vocational subjects also performed strongly once again, achieving results above national figures, reflecting the breadth of opportunities available to students and the success of different pathways.

Mrs Knox, Headteacher at North Durham Academy said,

'Behind every result is an individual young person with their own ambitions, challenges and achievements. There have been fantastic individual and subject successes this year and we are delighted to see so many of our students able to take their next steps with confidence. I would like to thank our staff for the commitment and care they have shown our students and our parents and carers for the invaluable support they have provided throughout their children’s time with us. Most importantly, congratulations to every one of our students. We wish them every success for the future.'

Our Trust values of resilience, respect, collaboration, inclusion and ambition are reflected in the achievements we are celebrating today. These values are at the heart of our school community and are demonstrated every day through the commitment, determination and support shown by our students and staff.
