Headteacher Christopher Jones concludes:

“As an academically non-selective school, we are immensely proud to see so many top grades as well as a class average of 6. Behind the headlines, there are so many individual journeys for which simple numbers cannot convey the rapid progress that has been made – progress which blows starting point academic trajectories out of the water. This is a testament to our students’ hard work and determination, and to our incredible teachers who make these outcomes possible. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2024; they have bright futures ahead.”
