Officials at Fakenham Academy are looking forward to a bright future following the publication of its students' GCSE results this morning.

Fifty-seven per cent of pupils achieved 9-4 grades in both English and Maths, down by one per cent on last year.

But principal Richard Evans said he was encouraged by growth in higher grades and the proportion of students planning to stay on at the school for further study.

More students are planning for their future in Fakenham Academy's sixth form following their GCSEs, according to the school's principal

He said: “This is another year of impressive results for the Academy.

"We have maintained our impressive pass rate for English and Maths, whilst also improving the number of students achieving the top grades in these subjects.

"Congratulations to the class of 2019 on a fantastic set of results across a wide range of subjects, including Latin and Further Maths.
