We are excited about seeing them develop at the top of Pipers in our Sixth Form and taking on the responsibilities and privileges this brings.

Lord Grey Academy
Lord Grey students lived up to the Academy’s motto of ‘Lord Grey Can’ as GCSE results were published today. There were lots of smiling faces as students opened their results and a sense of relief that their hard work had paid off.
GCSEs have become harder over the last two years and we are pleased with how Lord Grey students have risen to the challenge. Most importantly they have gained the grades that they need to continue studying at Lord Grey Sixth Form or to access their college course or apprenticeship placement. I am very proud of our students and wish them well in the next stage of their education.
Jim Parker – Academy Principal, Lord Grey Academy
