Headmaster Dr Chris Pyle said: “Many congratulations to all of our Year 11 pupils on their excellent results today.  It is wonderful to see them gain the recognition they deserve for all their hard work over the past five years.   

“This year group has come through extraordinary disruption, and they have well and truly risen to the challenge!  Their hard work and engagement have been immensely impressive, both here in our classrooms and remotely on Teams.  It is particularly pleasing to see success for a number of day pupils and boarders who have come through particular challenges during the past two years.   

“They are such a talented and ambitious group of young people, and we look forward to seeing them continue to thrive, hopefully in more normal circumstances.  These GCSE results will be the foundation for great success for them at A-level and beyond.  Well done to every single pupil!” 

Over 46% of grades were awarded a grade 9-8 and over 70% achieved grade 9-7.
