The school rolled out a red carpet for the Year 11 students, treating them to ice-creams as they collected their examination results. There was a celebratory atmosphere as the school achieved a stellar set of examination results.
Headteacher, Julian Morgan, commented “We’ve made improvements in every performance measure this year and this is a tribute to the tireless work of our amazing students, the staff here and our fantastic families. This has very much been a team effort. Focus in lessons, exam boosters, endless breakfast sessions, boosters, warm ups and much much more have paid off."
