00:00School sports halls across the county were set up again today, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Year 11's collecting their
00:07results.
00:08And as the students open their envelopes, the celebrations, or commiserations, begin.
00:14Today is the day that students here at Lee Academy Epps Fleet will see their GCSE results for the first
00:20time after months and months of waiting and revising.
00:24Now this is one of the best results Lee Academy Epps Fleet have ever received, and you can hear just
00:28behind me in the hall.
00:30Some of the loud shouts from people who are getting the grades that they've been hoping for.
00:34It's a breath of relief, it is a relief to see such brilliant results in front of me.
00:39I've been waiting about years, two years of my life for this, I've prepared, so yeah it's incredible, it's really
00:46incredible.
00:47I'm feeling astonished, I'm so grateful, and as I've said in every other interview, alhamdulillah, all praise be to God,
00:54I'm a Muslim.
00:55And without God, without my family, without the absolute family supporting me, I couldn't have done it today, so I'm
01:02absolutely astonished.
01:04It was a lot, it was a lot, I was staying off, like, I had all-nighters, I was staying
01:07off for so long, and yeah, I guess it all paid off, sort of, yeah, so yeah.
01:11It was so hard, I used to be so naughty. I really, really tried, year 10 and year 11, I
01:17really tried it, it really paid off, I'm so happy.
01:19I'm so happy I've passed.
01:21I think with college, it wasn't something I wanted to do. I didn't think I'd get anywhere personally doing it
01:26myself.
01:27I think personally with an apprenticeship, I'll get somewhere with it.
01:30For English, I got an eight, Bi-I got an eight, Chemistry I got an eight, Physics a seven, English
01:35a seven, Spanish a seven, History an eight, which is crazy, Math an eight, and further maths a seven.
01:44While the GCC pass rate nationally is down from 2025, Lee Academy is celebrating a bumper year.
01:52I mean, this is what we work for. This is all those blood, sweat and tears over the five years
01:57for all of those young people.
01:59It's all about today. And this is such a big milestone for them. And to be able to celebrate with
02:05them and their families is what it's all about.
02:07This is why we do the job that we do.
02:09Here's to whatever comes next. Chloe Brewster for KMTV in Herbs Fleet.
