Okay, Mrs Dodd, lots of smiles in there. How pleased are you with this year's results?
00:04
Well, to say I'm proud of the children is an absolute understatement. They've done phenomenally
00:09
well this year. We've got over 60% of our students securing a 4-plus in their maths
00:16
and English, and we've got half of our children securing a 5-plus in their maths and English.
00:22
And that's just a testament to all of the hard work that's gone into this year from
00:26
both the staff, students, and the support from their parents. So I personally would
00:31
just like to thank our staff for all of their hard work and tenacity with the children this
00:37
year. I'd like to thank the parents for sending their children into school every day, because
00:42
that's made a massive difference, and for supporting us with their children. And finally,
00:47
I'd like to thank the students, because they've came in every single day, they've taken every
00:52
opportunity that's been offered to them, and they've worked so hard, and these results
00:57
reflect all of their hard work.
00:59
I understand it's one of the best sets of results the school's ever had, is that right?
01:02
It is the best set of results the school's ever had, and I'm super proud of all of the
01:06
hard work that's gone into this. This has been, you know, a culmination of consistency
01:12
across a number of years, and all of the hard work has paid off, so yes.
01:17
And these kids, obviously their education was disrupted by COVID, so does that even
01:21
make it all the more special that they've done so well?
01:23
It was, and I think COVID has made a massive impact on our students, particularly our disadvantaged
01:29
students, and this year our disadvantaged students have done just as well as our non-disadvantaged
01:34
students, which is something we always have prided ourselves on. So to retain that again,
01:39
and to get that back to where it should be, as it was pre-COVID, is something we're all
01:44
really proud of here at Sandhill View Academy.
01:47
Okay, then Maddis, I understand your results show you made the most progress in the school,
01:51
so what were you expecting on average, and what did you actually get?
01:54
So for Englishes, I was expecting around sevens, but then in the English language I got a nine,
02:00
in literature I got an eight. In maths I was pretty, like, I didn't feel confident in the
02:05
papers, like I was really struggling, but then I managed to get an eight. In combined
02:10
science I was feeling confident, and I got an eight-seven. In German I was expecting
02:15
I got a nine. In history I wasn't feeling confident either, I was thinking I got a seven,
02:20
I got a nine. In sport I wasn't feeling confident again, I got a level two distinction, and
02:25
in media I got a level two merit.
02:27
How did you feel coming in this morning, were you nervous?
02:30
I was pretty nervous, yeah, but I've been feeling excited over the holidays, so it kind
02:34
of, like, balanced out a bit.
02:35
And how did you feel when you opened those results and saw what you'd got?
02:39
It was, like, really overwhelming, like, I was feeling, like, massive success and happiness,
02:44
but at the same time I was, like, just, like, so thankful for all my teachers, for the grades
02:49
that they've gotten me.
02:51
And yourself, what did you get for your results, and how many of each number did you get?
02:56
So, for English language I got an eight, English literature I got a nine, which I weren't
03:01
expecting at all. Maths I got a nine, further maths I got a nine, biology I got a nine,
03:07
chemistry I got a nine, physics I got a nine, geography I got an eight, in German I got
03:12
an eight, and in BTEC sport I got a level two distinction.
03:15
So, obviously you've done really well there, were you expecting to do as well as that?
03:19
Not as well.
03:20
How did you feel when you opened your results then?
03:23
Really happy and quite shocked as well, yeah.
03:26
How did you feel coming in this morning?
03:28
Extremely nervous.
03:30
And what are you going to do now?
03:32
I think I'm going to go out for a meal with my family.
