Headteacher, Annmarie Whelan, commented, “These results are a true reflection of the students’ dedication and hard work. Students have worked hard from day one of their courses and deserve these wonderful results especially as this was their first time sitting public exams as their GCSE exams were cancelled in 2021, making their achievements this year even more exceptional.  

The tremendous commitment and dedication from the teaching staff, the diligence and care of our support staff and our excellent partnership with parents and carers must also be recognised and I am so proud of how we have worked so hard together as a school community to ensure our students achieved their best.

We are a fully inclusive Sixth Form and to achieve these excellent results year on year is really incredible and just shows how hard our students and staff have worked over the last few years. Students have shown true grit and determination throughout their Sixth Form studies and really deserve the success they have achieved today and these results will open many doors for them.”

Mrs Carol Rogers, Chair of Governors would like to congratulate all students and thank staff for their hard work.
