Our pupils have returned a wonderful set of GCSE results, and I am delighted that all their efforts and the support of their parents and teachers has been rewarded. I am exceptionally proud of everything that has been achieved and would like to both congratulate and thank our pupils for the endeavour, determination and resilience they have demonstrated over many months of learning and study. We now look forward to welcoming Year 11 to the Sixth Form and wish them all the best for their future study.”
