It is particularly pleasing this year that our students have done so well despite the challenges posed by the pandemic over the past few years.  Thank you to our wonderful team of staff who have supported our students, giving them the guidance and encouragement to achieve these strong results. I know staff are looking forward to welcoming many of these Year 11s to our Sixth Form which continues to provide students with the very best educational experiences.”
