“I am proud of the achievements of our students who have worked with high levels of commitment and diligence since the start of their GCSE studies and despite the challenges that COVID presented, have continued to work with motivation and determination to achieve these outstanding results. I am also grateful to all our parents who have worked with us to support their children with their studies and who today can share in this success”.
