Headteacher, Alan Hammersley said “After a very strange and disruptive two years and in a year in which statistically grades should have dropped, the class of 2022 have displayed true grit by focussing on their learning and achieving the best set of results in the school’s history. It would be remiss of me not to also mention the commitment of my very hardworking and dedicated staff and the super support given to students by their parents/carers - my thanks goes out to them all. Our students should be very proud of their remarkable achievements. All in all, the class of 2022 really have worked hard to excel in their studies and I wish them all the very best for the future”.
