”We are so very proud of the results achieved by our students this year. These results are testament to their hard work, resilience, and perseverance. The staff have supported the students to successfully navigate the examinations despite the students’ barriers to learning and the impact of the pandemic. We break all school records this year with the number of higher grades achieved including grade 9s, in a year when grade boundaries are returning to pre-pandemic levels. Our students move on to our Post 16 provision or main stream colleges, with a great set of qualifications. Just as importantly, whilst attaining these wonderful grades, they have also developed their social and communication skills, built their confidence, and have become the most delightful group of young people. We look forward to hearing all about their next steps and their future successes.
