Principal Mrs Sue Woodroofe said:
This year has seen our young people grow in confidence and resilience as they have faced up to the challenges of the pandemic. This experience will stand them in good stead for the future. Their success is down to hard work and determination, supported by the versatility and commitment of our amazing teachers. I am in awe of them all.
I’m delighted for all the students as I’m sure they’ve done a lot of work – but these actual grade results are a bit of a “sham” aren’t they really.
