Year 11 Results Day - Thursday 20 August
Year 11 students reunited with friends and teachers
Valley Park School celebrated with Year 11 students today in what was their first morning in school since March. Although examination results were made available to everyone online, the majority of students chose to come into school to collect their results, see their peers and enrol for Sixth Form courses.
Valley Park arranged for results to be collected outside and in a socially-distanced environment, so that students could celebrate this milestone with their friends. Teachers were thrilled to be able to share in students’ successes after many months apart.
Headteacher Margaret Hutchinson said, “This Year 11 cohort has been remarkable in what it has overcome. Even though BTEC results were withdrawn late in the day yesterday, our students have arrived today with a real enthusiasm and sense of positivity – I am delighted that so many of them have chosen to remain with us next year after everything they have been through and their resilience will be an inspiration to the rest of our school community when it returns in September.”
The school plans has created a ‘roll of honour’ on its website and, in view of the recently-announced BTEC review process, intends to update this as students’ grades change.

Sixth Form Results Day - Thursday 13 August
Familiar faces favoured over results day download
Valley Park School has enjoyed a celebratory morning with Sixth Form students. Although, for the first time this year, examination results were made available to everyone online, many students chose to come into school to collect their results, see their peers and share their news with teachers.
Valley Park arranged for results to be collected outside and in a socially-distanced environment, so that students could celebrate this milestone with their friends.
Although Results Day has been very different this year, students and staff have been delighted to hear that 99% of students eligible for university have already finalised their places, and students were keen to share their next steps with the familiar faces of their teachers, many of whom they have not seen in person since March.
Headteacher Margaret Hutchinson said, “This Year 13 cohort has shown remarkable resilience, persevering even when they heard the news that their exams had been cancelled. We were delighted to see so many students back in school today and we have enjoyed wishing them well in their future endeavours. We know this year has been tense for students awaiting results, and we will continue to offer support to those who need us throughout their well-deserved summer break.”
The school plans to create a ‘roll of honour’ on its website and, in view of the appeals process, intends to update this as students’ grades change.
