We are incredibly proud to share that Theddlethorpe Academy has received a letter of congratulations from the Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson, recognising the outstanding outcomes achieved by our disadvantaged pupils at the end of the 2024/25 academic year.

In her letter, the Secretary of State praised the school’s performance, noting that our results place Theddlethorpe Academy among the very best nationally. She described this as a “significant achievement” and highlighted the dedication of our staff alongside the hard work, ambition and commitment shown by our pupils.

The letter recognises that these outcomes reflect a strong focus on ensuring every child is given the best possible opportunities to succeed, regardless of background. It also acknowledges the high expectations we hold for all pupils and the inclusive approach that underpins everything we do as a school.

As part of this recognition, Theddlethorpe Academy has been encouraged to continue sharing its effective practice with other schools, helping to raise standards more widely across the education sector. This includes working collaboratively with other schools, contributing to professional networks, and continuing to place disadvantaged pupils at the heart of our work.
