"Everyone at Venture is celebrating - we are thrilled for Jessica-Jane and her family. Having gone from the bottom of the league tables to the top, Venture Academy has proven there are truly no barriers to success. Jessica-Jane is the embodiment of this resilience and commitment - she's

Ormiston Venture Academy is sponsored by Birmingham-based Ormiston Academies Trust, whose new chief executive Professor Toby Salt started on Monday.

He said: "What an inspiring

day as chief executive of Ormiston Academies Trust. Congratulations to Jessica-Jane and to Ormiston Venture Academy for being the

dedication and talent will spread through all 19 of our academies and spur all of us on in pursuit of excellence."
