Mr Stuart Judge, Headteacher, said: “The results released today have seen some fantastic achievements across the cohort, and students should be very proud of themselves and their accomplishments.

“We are really proud of our Year 11 cohort and their achievements. The students and teachers have worked extremely hard over the past two years, to bring about another positive set of results.

“Given the landscape over the last few years, compared with this years’ much harsher grading, we are absolutely delighted to see that many of our measures have improved, this reflects the resilience, hard work, and determination from all involved.”

“We wish every one of our Year 11 cohort the very best of luck in their next chapter in pastures new.”
