Charlotte Tassell-Dent, Head of School at North Bridge House Senior Canonbury concludes:  

 

“I am delighted with our students’ fantastic GCSE results. These grades are testament to the hard work and commitment that our students have shown despite their educational journey having had a very different trajectory to those who sat exams in 2019. The class of 2023 may have grown up in a different world, but they have proven that, with the incredible support of their teachers, they have very bright futures ahead. I wish our Year 11 students the very best of luck in their next chapter and look forward to welcoming many back into the sixth form here at North Bridge House.”
