Fairfax Academy GCSEs 2025: Principal expresses pride at fantastic results

Fairfax Academy GCSEs 2025: Students and staff at Fairfax Academy are celebrating a fantastic year of GCSE performance.

These results come after Fairfax, founding school of the Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust, received its highest ever A Level results last week, marking high standards of achievement across the school.

Results have improved yet again across core subjects, and the vast majority of subjects have seen increased grades since previous years.

In addition, the number of Grade 9s achieved by Fairfax Academy students has risen.

Principal Sean Castle, said: “Congratulations to all of our students.

“This year’s GCSE students have faced significant disruption throughout their five years of secondary education.  The fact that we have seen such excellent individual performances is testament to the students’ diligence and hard work.

“I would like to thank our staff for their commitment and dedication to ensuring that students are supported throughout their time at Fairfax, and thank our parents and carers for their continued support.

“We are extremely proud of the students and wish them every success in the next stages of their employment, education and training.

“We look forward to a large number of our students continuing their educational journey in our increasingly successful Sixth Form.”

Consider your options

School isn’t the end of the world – you can do so much more, even if you don’t pass your exams. Education is everything, but education doesn’t stop at school; you can be educated on an apprenticeship and continue learning. You can do so much more – even if you don’t pass your exams.

Take it slow

Moving onto the next step is a very personal thing, so giving yourself time to breathe could give you a whole new perspective. 

Try not to make decisions in the heat of the moment. Take as much time as you need to work out your next steps, and ask for help if you need it.

Remember to de-stress

Despite the reassurance, sometimes the stress of the situation can get you down.
