Students and staff at Sponne School in Towcester are celebrating another excellent set of GCSE results this year with many individuals achieving outstanding grades.

Despite the information in the news, overall results at Sponne have remained very similar to last year’s teacher assessed grades or improved with a third of all students achieving at least 5 grade 7s and above.  Among the many elated students celebrating today were Lily Hancock, Emily Underwood and Stefano Whitbread who achieved grade 9s in all their subjects, Emily Akrill, Jeremy Gundle and Orianne Neyroud who gained 9s in all but one of their subjects and Ben Allen, Oliver Barnes, Lauren Pettefer and Katie Starkey who all gained at least 5 grade 9s.   

Headteacher Mr Iain Massey said: “I am tremendously proud of the achievements of all of our students at Sponne School. No matter what their starting point when they arrive, the majority have made exceptional progress despite the disruption of the pandemic and these results enable them to pursue their chosen post 16 destinations, reflecting our school ethos of Dream Believe Achieve. We look forward to many of the students returning to Sponne Sixth form for the next stage of their education and along with all my staff and Governors I would like to congratulate them for working so hard and gaining what they deserved. Well done to all our students”

Year 11 Progress Learning Leader, Ms Turton  said “Congratulations to our Year 11 students on a fantastic set of GCSE results! We are extremely proud of them all and these results reflect their hard work, resilience and ability to learn during an immensely difficult time. They have been a brilliant year group and we wish them the very best of luck as they progress into their next steps!”

Sponne School is very proud to announce that Thomas Judge (Yr 12 A level Music Student) has been successful in his  double bass audition for the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.  Huge congratulations - a tremendous achievement! On receiving the news Thomas said:

"I am completely honoured to accept my place into the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain in the Double Bass section! To say I am excited for what the next year or so has to offer would be an understatement. From performing live at the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in summer to doing various concert tours of the UK and overseas, it’s safe to say the next two years are going to be extremely busy. I’m particularly looking forward to working with the incredible film composer Danny Elfman (whose work includes: Batman, Nightmare before Christmas and the Simpsons) and performing in the world premiere of his new work, which was written especially for the NYO

I applied for the NYO in April this year and was fortunate enough to get moved straight to the 2nd round of auditions. After months of preparation, I was finally invited to the Royal Academy of Music in which I had a weekend assessment, consisting of various creative workshops and as you can imagine A LOT of playing! A couple of weeks later I got an email confirming I had gotten the position. 

The NYO has an outstanding reputation of being the world’s leading orchestra for young people and thanks to the help of our phenomenal Chief Executive and Artistic Director, Sarah Alexandra OBE, the orchestra has become well linked with some of the greatest musical influencers and organisations in the industry, and has performed to many thousands of people as well as regularly performing for members of the Royal Family.

I am incredibly happy to have been given this amazing opportunity and I am very proud to get the chance to represent Sponne School on a National level."

 

The new science block extension is starting to take shape and is due for completion by December 2021. This will house 3 new classrooms, a faculty base and improved toilet facilities, allowing for much more space in the science department. This is a great investment for the school and will be hugely beneficial for both future and current students.

 See below for some designs on what the build will look like and remember to check back for updates as the project progresses.
