Mark Avoth, Principal, said “It is important to bear in mind that despite examinations being sat as “normal” this year, the reality is that our Year 13 students have had a very disrupted learning journey. Therefore, it is even more impressive that they have achieved such wonderful results. Congratulations to all the students who have been successful in progressing to the next stage of their life journey, in higher education or work-based training and a huge thanks to their teachers have worked very hard to support them.”

Dean Taafe, Head of Sixth Form said, “It gives me immense satisfaction to see our students hard work rewarded with some excellent results. Our job as educators is to provide a platform for students to thrive, and give them the tools they need to leave school, prepared and excited for the next step of their lives. All of our students that wanted to go to university have been offered a place and we are delighted that our students continue to expand their horizons with many accepting places on different courses or at different universities to those that have gone before them. It has been a real honour helping them and we wish them all the best on this exciting journey.”
