We are extremely proud of the pupils and the School, and these results cement the School’s passionate belief in the core subjects as well as offering a wide and varied curriculum. As we welcome many of the year group back to join our expanding Sixth Form, I would like to thank the staff and parents for their commitment and support to ensure our pupils achieve of their very best’.

Whilst we are so pleased with the overall School performance, even more importantly today we have been celebrating the personal successes of our young people, many of whom have fought against the odds to achieve wonderful results of which they can be truly proud. I am so excited for September, when we will welcome many of them back into our Sixth Form.’
