    GCSE Results Day – August 2025

    The atmosphere at Cranbourne was vibrant and full of excitement as students, teachers, and parents came together to celebrate GCSE Results Day. After months of dedication, resilience, and hard work, the Year 11 cohort experienced a moment of triumph and pride as they received their eagerly awaited results, marking a significant milestone in their academic journey.

    As students nervously opened their results, the atmosphere was charged with a mix of excitement, relief, and pride. The room was filled with smiling faces, joyful tears, and heartfelt embraces, all reflecting the immense effort and dedication invested by both students and staff.

    Cranbourne’s Headteacher, Miss Sarah Conlon, conveyed her deep pride in the students’ accomplishments, highlighting that the results not only showcase academic success but also the resilience and determination that define the school community.

    Among the top performers were our Head Students Mayana and Hayden.  Reflecting on his success, Hayden said “I can go to sleep at night knowing I gave it my best and couldn’t do any more. Cranbourne felt like a second home… it has been a pleasure.”

    Mayana added “the teachers at Cranbourne really know what they are doing and support us every step of the way. I worked hard consistently throughout the year and doing regular mock exams really helped.”

    Amelie, who achieved two 9’s in English, said “I am so proud of myself for not giving up! Two years of consistent revision and my hard work has paid off! I am excited to be studying Psychology, Criminology and History at QMC in September.”

    The achievements of Cranbourne’s students are a testament to the unwavering dedication of the school’s staff, who consistently go the extra mile to provide every student with the necessary resources and support to thrive. Initiatives such as after-school revision sessions, personalised mentoring, targeted revision evenings, and comprehensive wellbeing support have all contributed significantly to these positive outcomes.

    Jonathon, who is part of our Compass provision, shared “I am feeling good about my results and am especially pleased with my 7 in Maths! All my teachers were amazing. I didn’t always love History, but Miss Hadkinson was always so enthusiastic and encouraging. She really turned it around for me.”

    Ms Corrigan, Year 6 Transition Link and MFL Teacher expressed pride in the outstanding results achieved by all our students. “I am not surprised! They were a fantastic group of hardworking and conscientious students who will go on to achieve great things.”

    Parents have also been instrumental in this achievement, with many expressing their appreciation for the school’s consistent support and dedication to their children’s education. Mrs Cheesman, mother of Jonathon said “I am feeling ecstatic! I am so grateful for everything Cranbourne has done for the last five years. All of the extra support has meant so much to us all.”

    Mrs Brooks, mother of Adam said “I am over the moon with Adam’s Science and English results! He has done absolutely amazing and couldn’t have done it without all the support from his teachers.”

    We congratulate all our students on their achievements and thank our staff, parents, and partners for their ongoing support.

    As the celebrations carry on, Cranbourne remains committed to cultivating the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators. The successes of today not only reflect the hard work of the past but also lay a strong foundation for future achievements. We congratulate all students on their accomplishments and remind them that, equipped with the skills and knowledge gained at Cranbourne, they are well-prepared to reach their full potential.
