Fairfax A levels 2025: Fairfax Academy, the founding school of the Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust, is celebrating the best A Level results in its history.
Year 13 students at the Sutton Coldfield school achieved outstanding outcomes across a wide range of subjects, including record numbers of A* and over 50% of students achieving A*-B.
Principal, Sean Castle said: “We are delighted that our students have enjoyed such unprecedented success. This is a real testament to their hard work and dedication, as well as validation to the excellent teaching and pastoral support provided by all staff in the academy.
“We have seen notable increases across all metrics, with particularly strong performances in Law, Chemistry, BTEC Sport, History, Health and Social Care, and Art – though every subject performed incredibly well.
“On behalf of the staff at Fairfax, I would like to congratulate all of our students whose efforts have truly paid off.
“We wish them every success in the next stages of their employment, education or training.
“I would also like to thank our staff for their tireless support, and our parents and carers for the encouragement they have given to their children and the academy.”
