The long wait for Year 11 finally came to an end this morning as GCSE results were released and we are, once again, celebrating a group of exceptional students with brilliant results!

After five years of dedication, hard work and resilience, it was a joy to see so many smiling faces, so many tears of joy and so many students enjoying such well-earned success.
