The Principal, Mr McLoughlin, praised the tenacity and efforts of the students, parents and his colleagues: ‘We congratulate all our students on their outstanding results and wish them well as they begin the next stage of their careers.  These results would not have been obtained, however, without the dedication and commitment of the teaching staff of the Academy; their professional approach has undoubtedly underpinned this success.  The education of our young people involves a partnership and I pay tribute to my colleagues in our primary schools who have created the foundation for the success our pupils enjoy today.  I know our parents are delighted with the success of their sons and daughters, and they too must be congratulated for their consistent support and encouragement as we work together to ensure high levels of success for our students.  Collectively, we celebrate the success of our students and we commend the Class of 2026 for their resilience and maturity.  We thank them for the memories they have created in the Academy and wish them every success in the next stage of their educational journey.’
