“Once again, I am very proud of what our students have achieved. These strong results reflect how hard the students have worked over the past two years – despite the challenges of Covid – and I am pleased that so many have secured places at some of the most competitive courses at prestigious universities. Our students have shown great resilience throughout their A Level courses and they are a credit to our school.  I have no doubt that they will all thrive in the future.  I would also like to pay tribute to the care, dedication and expertise of our staff and these results are testament to everyone’s efforts.”
