The restrietiojts upon Irayel meant that therE no Iyp)rnJwty for pupils to trnvel for educational and sporting trips

The TestrictioL8 upon visikns to the School meani that there almost no pO&￿Thi11ty of inter scbool spotts fixtures

gained A* gTrdes in each of their A LeveL
There were similarly strong results at GCSE with almom halfof all the GCSES graded at level 7-9 and over 9￿% at level
5 or above. 12 pupils gained 10 or more 7-9 8rades and every one of these S￿d¢llts h&s remai￿ ai Aldenlwn to sthdy

Both pr￿ %hools were able to see their academic achievements recognised with th¢ awaTd of 16 schoiarsbips for St

d¢monstrat¢ the ¢xceU¢nt work that our teachers acbieve An their c]&w. whilst maintaining as with all Aldenham
Foundation ￿h0O]S a genuine commitment to all.roulld education iti their ethos al￿ pro&rdllllDe5.
As a result of th¢ January to March IcKkdowD we were able io reduce which i￿lUded tbe total closure of the
Nursery. All CO￿ savings were pasxd bxk to parents by megLs of a rethced fee ID the Sununer Terni 2021 whicb was
5¢¢n &5 ￿¢¢p￿ble to all.
Thercfore, despitc 8 most ¢Wl¢DgiDg period the Aldeaham Foundation w&$ able to cnd th¢ year in a strong position
#nd with excellcnt pm5p￿ts for fvture years. ID facL despite the pandemic and thc inability of parents to view the
School. we skw the larges¢ ever intake of pupils accept places for startin8 in Y7 from September 2021 and the
registrations for enty io 2022 are up by 30% year oryear. The strong commitsnent to following through the clear 8oals
set out in the Aldenham 2027 Strategic Plan remaijks in place. and we are CaUtio￿51Y crnfid¢nt tbat it will Dot need to
be significantly altered despite the global pandemic.
