00:00Good morning from Skegness. Now we've moved on to Skegness Academy. It is results day

00:10and a big day for vocational courses at the Academy. How have your students done?

00:17Yeah, we've been really, really pleased with our students this year. We've had an increase

00:21in our vocational results and yeah, we're excited for students to come in and start

00:25opening their results and looking at what uni places they're going to get to. So I think

00:28we've got Leila with us that's going to open her results with you.

00:31Yes, yes. So we'll, she's been really, really brave and opening them live. So let's see

00:41how she's done.

00:42I've got an M in Health and Social and an MM in Child Care.

00:45That's fantastic Leila, well done.

00:48So what are you hoping to do with those results? What are your plans?

00:51I'm going to uni, VGU and I've also got a job as teacher's assistant to do alongside.

00:57Do you know what you want to do ultimately?

01:00I don't know. I think I'm going to try and get my child care level up and then I'll see

01:04from there what I want to do.

01:05Yeah, I mean it's a lot to take in, isn't it, on results day?

01:09Yeah.

01:10So how were the courses? How have you found it all?

01:12They were really good and all the teachers were really helpful and always helped me when

01:15I needed them.

01:16Yeah, so are you going to be celebrating today?

01:18Yeah.

01:19Yeah, I mean it's always good to come to Skegness Academy because you have the ice

01:23cream van outside, don't you? It's always a bonus, always worth working hard, isn't

01:29it?

01:30Yeah.

01:31So congratulations anyway on your results and every success in the future.

01:37Thank you for speaking to us. Now if I just come back to you. I mean it's been a year

01:46of change at Skegness Academy, hasn't it?

01:50Yeah, we've had a new principal for a year, so Mr Gissendorf has come in and he's worked

01:54absolute wonders. We've got so many opportunities for our students now, putting them on that

01:58path to a successful and fulfilling life. So our students have so many chances to be

02:03successful. We have a fantastic body of staff and yeah, we're on the up and everything

02:08is going in the right direction for us. So it's going to be a fantastic year next year

02:12as we continue to move forward, definitely.

02:14And the work that you do in the community as well, because it was just a few weeks ago

02:20that we came in to see all the amazing poppies you've been making for the Remembrance Display

02:26around the clock tower.

02:28Yeah, and I think that's been going on in earnest over the summer holidays. I think

02:32people are still making poppies. I know that my mum sat on a sunbed over the summer knitting

02:36poppies for us as well. So yeah, I think we do so much in the community. We do lots with

02:42our vulnerable students and our families that just need that little bit of extra support.

02:47So yeah, we are really proud of what we do within the community, definitely.

02:50Yeah. So, I mean, today has mainly been about your vocational courses, but overall, are

02:57you pleased with how all the students have done?

02:59Yeah, we're so exceptionally pleased with our students. They've worked really, really

03:03hard over the last two years. Every single one of our students has got the uni place

03:07that they applied for. So we've got every single student getting their first place at

03:10uni choice, and some of them are going on to apprenticeships and other forms of employment.

03:16So yeah, really pleased with how the students have done with the exceptional hard work from

03:19the staff that we have at the academy.

03:21Okay, well there's lots of students probably waiting to have a chat with you out there,

03:25so I'll let you get on. So thank you for talking to us this morning.

03:30And next week, we'll be back for the GCSEs.

03:32Yes, you will. I'll see you then.

03:33See you then. Thank you.
