We would like to recognise the following students who have made between 2 and 3 grades higher than the national progress.

Headteacher, Mr Aston Smith said, 

“It is a great privilege to be able to celebrate the achievements of all our students. I am delighted to be able to welcome the majority of this year group back into our sixth form and for those that are moving on to apprenticeships or college places, I wish them the very best for the future. These results are testament to the dedication of our fantastic staff, the encouragement and support from the parents and of course the excellent attitude to learning shown by the students.”

Mrs Kelly, Assistant Headteacher who oversaw this year group added, “Like many students up and down the country Covid had a big impact on education and wider needs and I have really valued the support from our families in getting the best out of the students. Our families have been an absolute pleasure to work with. I look forward to following the progress of our students in the next stages of their education.”
