“We couldn’t be prouder of the students at The Halifax Academy. Their resilience, strength of character and good humour demonstrated over the past three years have been rewarded with an excellent set of results. This is a testament to the hard work of the students and staff and we look forward to seeing the great things that the students go onto as they leave us.”
“After several years of turbulence for students and staff, I would like to congratulate all our ‘Class of 2022’ on their achievements this year. I am extremely proud of their successes, these results have only come about due to the hard work, commitment, and dedication of all our students, ably supported by our committed and enthusiastic staff and their parents. Most pleasingly, this year's group have not only achieved academically but has developed real character and been aspirational throughout their time at Castle Hall Academy.”
“Overall, students have demonstrated resilience and maturity and this has been personally heart-warming to watch as Headteacher. Another needed mention is the tremendous support and care that our families offer their children - having worked in 5 secondary schools, Newsome families stand out by far and I congratulate you on the effort and lengths gone to ensure the right support and challenge that you have offered your child through these challenging times. It is only by working together that we can make the biggest and most positive difference in our children’s lives and we certainly have that within our community.”
