Headteacher, Brian Griffen said: ‘This year’s outcomes are a direct result of the hard work and efforts of both staff and students across all GCSE courses. My thanks go to all staff and pupils for working so hard during school hours and in enrichment sessions outside of school with the aim of improving academic achievement. These high levels of commitment have paid off with a set of pleasing results of which both staff and students can be proud. We look forward to welcoming the large majority of Year 11 into the school’s excellent 6th form to continue their educational journey.
