We have to thank the parents for their support of our school and of course the staff who prepared them so well and looked after them through the exam season. These are the best results in Maths and English that the school has had in recent years with over 70% of students achieving a standard pass in an English GCSE and over 70% passing in Maths. We look forward to welcoming many of our students back into our Sixth Form to continue their education with us.”
Associate Head, Mrs Clark, said:
“What an amazing set of results. This was the year group that started their transition into secondary education amid the 2020 Covid lockdowns and they still managed to come out with the best results the school has seen in years. They have shown true resilience and determination and we are so proud of each and every one of them. We wish them all the best for their futures and know that they will go on and do amazing things.”
