Kate Sutherland, chair of governors, said: “I am delighted with the performance of our A-level students.

"Their hard work and dedication, along with the support of their teachers, staff, parents, carers and families, has well and truly paid off.

"I wish them all the very best in their chosen future plans.”

Daniel Wilde, deputy headteacher, added: “I am extremely proud of all of the students and the results they have achieved.

"The obstacles that these students have needed to overcome through the pandemic makes their achievement even more extraordinary.

"They have shown how their dedication and hard work over the past two years has culminated in these excellent results.

“Almost all students are going to their first-choice university which is brilliant; others are taking gap years before embarking on their courses.

"The next step in their education is going to set them up for an exciting journey and we wish them every success along the way.”

The AS level results are also very good this year.

Jac Bowyer and William Jones achieved A grades.
