Fantastic event in partnership with YDP

Congratulations to all of our students on their fantastic GCSE results today! 34 per cent of our students achieved grade 4 or higher, the equivalent of A*-C, in English and maths, 12 percentage points higher than in 2016.
We are delighted with these results which are a testament to our students who have worked incredibly hard and have been supported by dedicated and committed staff. We would like to wish all students the best for their futures.
It is evident our new partnership with Thomas Deacon Education Trust (TDET) is beginning to have an impact and we look forward to building upon this in the future as we strive to make further improvements as Queen Katharine Academy.

We achieved our best ever set of Post-16 results this year. Forty-nine per cent of students at the academy received the top A*-B grades, an improvement of nine percentage points on last year’s results!

We would also like to give a special mention to our top performing students, all of whom achieved outstanding grades!
A big well done goes to Michael Delaney, Nidah Khan, Kate Schneider, Josephine Williams, Kirsty Potter and Kamilah Rashid.

Congratulations to our fantastic students who collected their post-16 results today! You have all worked so hard and made us very proud. We wish you the best of luck for the future! #ALevelResultsDay

**Reminder to all Sixth Form students**
The Academy will be open from 10am on Thursday morning for students to collect their results. We wish you all the best of luck!

Our students enjoyed the rest of Activities Week last week. Here are some more photos of our Year 8 class getting involved in everything from music workshops to celebrations of Australian and Spanish cultures!
We are now on our Summer break so we hope everyone has a fantastic rest period and comes back next year refreshed and ready to learn, as we reopen as Queen Katharine Academy.

Our students are enjoying their Activities Week! Here are some Year 7 and Year 8 students, who created trolls during their activity day with the Art and Photography team.
Activities week is an opportunity for subject teams to work with whole year groups of students for an entire day – to provide them with an alternative experience of our subjects, one which is exciting in a way that isn’t always possible to achieve in a usual lesson timetable.

It's Activities Week this week at The Voyager.

I love all at TVA, staff, students and Tanya of course, great page.

Great result for the Voyager at the Spelling Bee 2015! 4th in the whole country!!!!

Great place to work! Dedicated staff, inspiring students.

Banter

Awesome school if you intend to learn and stay focused you will no doubt about that. Those school years were Sikkkk can't wait for 6th form

i can honestly say tht when an incident occured involving a child i was looking after, the school dealt with it within 24 hours, no qualms, no misleading stories, and can say categorically, no problems since......

There are good and bad point but all in all it's a good school

Love working there

I used to actually be a pupil here a few years ago, I am now 23. I can honestly say I have never seen so many disrespectful children after school! They cram the buses full of themselves and their very foul attitudes. They are saying things they shouldn't even know the meaning of! They are wearing The Voyager uniform so they are still the responsibility of the school! As for leaving school at 3.05pm?! It's a complete joke.

lol u suk

Very poor school does nothing to cut out bullying. No or very poor communication between staff and parents bring back bretton woods

Such a shit school don't go
