Saddleworth School proudly hosted its GCSE Certificate Presentation Evening, an event celebrating the hard work and continued dedication of students. 

It was an inspiring evening, filled with pride as the achievements of the school's Year 11 cohort were recognised.

Parents, teachers and students gathered in the Sports Hall to honour the efforts that went into achieving excellent results. 

The ceremony featured heartfelt speeches from staff members and guest speakers, who emphasised the importance of resilience, perseverance, and the pursuit of academic excellence.

The evening was not only a celebration of academic success but also an opportunity to reflect on the personal growth and challenges that these students have overcome throughout their GCSE journey. 

As the certificates were handed out, it was evident each individual’s journey was unique, yet all shared a common thread of hard work and dedication. 

For many, this evening marked the culmination of years of study, and it was a moment of well-deserved recognition.

Staff are incredibly proud of the achievements of all students and look forward to their continued success in the future, confident that the skills and knowledge gained during their GCSE years will serve as a strong foundation for whatever path they choose to follow.

Thank you to the special guests who joined staff and students for the evening too - Mr Matt Bulmer (Director of Education, Skills and Early Years, Oldham Council), Mrs Alice Rea (Chair of Governors), Cllr Barbara Beeley (Chair of the Parish Council) and her consort Cllr Alicia Marland and Mr Doug King (Vice Principal, Oldham Sixth Form College).
