Joanna Lamb, Head of School at Bedlington Academy, said:
“Since joining the North East Learning Trust in April 2018, numerous improvements have taken place at Bedlington Academy. The number of top grades this year is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, as well as the high-quality teaching and personalised support they receive from staff.
“We look forward to welcoming many of our Year 11s back into our sixth form, NE6, in September, and wish everyone the best of luck in the next steps of their journey.”
