Head of School, Dan Bagshaw, said: “This summer, our students secured excellent results.
"This was set against a backdrop of uncertainty and turbulence, as students, and their parents, endured two spells of remote learning from home.
"The results from OFQUAL around how Teacher Assessed Grades would be calculated arrived late into Year 11, adding to the stresses and pressures on all involved as part of the process.
"I couldn’t have asked for a better year group to go through this process with us.
"Mature, hardworking, and most of all, polite, I am pleased that my first Year 11s as Head of School did their very best in exceptionally difficult times.
“It was great to catch up with our former students and see how they were progressing with their post-16 courses.
"I hope recognition of their efforts spurs them on to continued and further success in the future.”
