“Whilst acknowledging the enormous achievements of the most able is very important, what gives me the greatest pleasure is the consistent progress that many of our students make irrespective of their ability or starting point.

“The fabulous support of our students from teachers and parents over the last 5 years, especially over the last few months of their schooling is also very much appreciated. 

“The support that has been shown through attendance and ensuring their children have the right working environment at home has enabled our students to flourish and subsequently celebrate these wonderful results.

“These results further build on improvements seen in previous years and will allow our students to follow the path of their choice, whether that be to further education, apprenticeships or further training.”
