Our Results

Class of 2024

Droylsden Academy is delighted to announce the outstanding success of its students in the recent GCSE examinations. Co-Headteachers Mrs Arnold and Mr Mayell express their immense pride in the remarkable achievements of the students, reflecting the dedication and hard work put in by both the students and the staff:

“The Class of 2024 were a truly wonderful cohort and we could not be prouder of them. There was a palpable sense of teamwork with students and staff working together and fully believing in what can be achieved through hard work and excellent attendance. We will miss them and wish them every success as they move on with their studies.

Maths have had another successful year and English has remained strong with over a quarter of students achieving top grades. There were also very strong results in Science, Statistics, Drama, Music, Health and Social Care, Art and Photography giving our students a strong start in the next part of their education. 

Droylsden Academy continues to demonstrate its commitment to excellence in education. These results are a testament to the collaborative efforts of the students, teachers, support staff and Governors, who have tirelessly worked towards ensuring the best possible outcomes, particularly for all the additional teaching hours they have provided for students before and after school.”

Mr Mayell commented, “We are overjoyed by the exceptional performance of our students in this year’s GCSE exams. Their resilience, determination and the unwavering support of staff, parents and carers have truly paid off. These results highlight the nurturing environment that Droylsden Academy provides, where each student’s potential is realised and celebrated.”

Mrs Arnold added, “Our students’ achievements are a reflection of their commitment and the high standard of teaching and guidance they receive at Droylsden Academy. We take immense pride in fostering an atmosphere where students feel empowered to excel academically and personally.”

Droylsden Academy, working within a family of schools that share best practice in the Tame River Educational Trust, remains dedicated to offering a well-rounded education that nurtures not only academic excellence but also the development of character and life skills. The success of these GCSE results is a strong endorsement of the school’s holistic approach to education, where all students thrive and belong.

As the Co-Headteachers, Mr Mayell and Mrs Arnold express their gratitude to the parents and carers for their support, and they extend their congratulations to the students for their exceptional achievements. Once again, Droylsden Academy has seen a significant increase in the number of applications for places in September and, for the eighth year running, the school is heavily oversubscribed with an extensive waiting list.
