Queen Elizabeth Academy in Mansfield, part of Diverse Academies Trust, today saw students and staff celebrating as A-Level results were revealed.

The academy said it is particularly proud to celebrate the diversity of destinations for those extending their education. Two of its standout students, Cody Thompson (below) and Jessica Foulds (above), are embarking on unique and exciting journeys that reflect their individual strengths and passions.

Cody Thompson has demonstrated remarkable perseverance throughout his academic journey. Despite finding A-Level studies challenging, Cody stayed committed and is pleased with his results, with particular strengths in his extended project qualification (EPQ) and in applied science, for which he achieved a merit.

Cody has secured a place at Inspire to study hospitality and catering, where he is eager to channel his creativity and passion for the industry. Reflecting on his experience, Cody said: “I found the A-level studies hard but stuck with it, and I’m pleased with my results.”

Jessica Foulds, who studied English literature, history, geography, and the EPQ, has been accepted to Nottingham Trent University to study music performance. “I am pleased with my results and looking forward to my next steps at university,” Jessica added.

Principal Donna Percival said: “I am so proud of our students’ hard work during their time at the academy and in our sixth form, and am pleased to see great individual successes being celebrated today. We are delighted that the efforts of these students have been recognised. Everyone at Queen Elizabeth’s Academy wishes them the very best for their bright futures ahead.”
