GCSE Presentation Evening

On Thursday 5^th December we held our GCSE presentation evening when students who left us in the summer were presented with their exam certificates.  This year our special guest speaker was Kirsty Henshaw.  Kirsty is a young business woman whose big break came after she appeared on Dragon’s Den where she secured a £65,000 investment for a 30% stake in her healthy food business.  Her products are now being sold in all major supermarkets in Britain.  The event was a celebration of the achievements of the students after all their effort and hard work during their time with us.  As well as exam certificates, there were prizes for outstanding achievement in each subject, and awards for the students who attained the best results overall. This year the recipients of the awards for best GCSE results were Dominic Moore and Emma Sykes.  Dom Smith and Lillie McGuckian received awards for their outstanding contributions as Head Boy and Head Girl.  All of the students can be justly proud of what they achieved, in what was a record-breaking year for exam results here at The Macclesfield Academy.
