They've been telling Emily Dexter all about their experience.
Principal Andria Singlehurst said: ‘We are thrilled with the results which mirror the exceptional drive of our students.
‘This truly is an awe-inspiring achievement for students and staff at the Academy. Students have benefited from learning in an Academy with a whole team of staff who are steadfast in ensuring every child reaches their fullest potential, they have learned from teachers who are experts in their field.
‘Our Year 13 students have worked with such determination and we are incredibly proud of them, particularly as they have navigated with us such astonishing times through the pandemic in the closing months of their secondary education.
‘They are a remarkable cohort who have been such a source of strength for each other and we have enjoyed working with them. We wish every student the very best for their next steps and are really looking forward to hearing about their future brilliant successes.
‘On behalf of Rivers students, I would like to thank the entire team of staff for their dedication and profound moral drive which has led to such tremendous results for students.'
