Following the success of our A Level students last week, we are delighted to welcome back our GCSE students to celebrate their exam results.
Finishing their mandatory educational journey, our Year 11 students have worked hard to achieve their GCSE results, opening up their future prospects as they move into Sixth Form, or other educational options.
I am so very proud of the achievements of all our students this year. These results demonstrate hard work, commitment and resilience by our learners in Year 11. The vast majority of our students have secured their next steps including moving to sixth form, college or an apprenticeship. Overall GCSE results have improved on last year and for the third year in a row and I would like to thank families and colleagues for their support in achieving these examination results.
