GCSE Results 2021

“I would like to congratulate each of our students who are celebrating today. Their hard work and dedication have been exemplary over the past 18 months, where they have risen to the challenges that Covid-19 has presented us all with but has not let that distract from their learning and studying for their GCSEs. It is always pleasing to see students celebrate their achievements and whilst this year is different to normal years today’s grades are as important and relevant to these students’ lives and to their hard work as ever. We are very proud of our 2021 cohort and we look forward to welcoming so many of them back to their new bespoke Sixth Form Centre in September.”
