Itwas a morning of immense pride and delight as the Upper Fifth pupils were welcomed back to celebrate their GCSE results. Despite the Department for Education warning that results would fall from last year to 2019 levels, the number of top grades increased from last year, with almost 15% of all grades being at the coveted grade 9 standard and nearly half of all grades at grade 7 or above. Over 80% of all pupils achieved at least one grade 7.

Special commendation goes to Dara and Frankie who secured a grade 9 in all ten of their subjects. In addition, Alexander, Sophia, Tara , Maciej, Maria G, Lamie and Isobel H achieved all grade 9 and 8s. We are delighted that the majority of the year group is staying on in the Sixth Form and cannot wait to see them flourish over the next two years.
