“After an unprecedented summer patiently waiting, students received just rewards for hard work and endeavour during their time at the school.
“Students this year were unable to take exams due to the pandemic but Centre Assessed Grades represented their ability and commitment to their GCSE
subjects.
“There were a number of incredible individual success stories including, Tayssir Ben Caid who achieved eight Grade 9’s to add to the Grade 9 he achieved in Latin while in Year 10. He is moving onto Eastbourne College having attained a scholarship.”

“We would like to thank staff and parents who have supported the students through their time at Bexhill Academy and wish our students every success in the next stage of their journey and look forward to hearing about all of their future endeavours.”
