Head of Year 11, Mr Smith, added: “It was wonderful to see so many happy, smiling faces today. Given the challenges that this cohort has faced over the past two years, we are all absolutely delighted with our students’ achievements. They have demonstrated outstanding resilience and independence and have worked really hard. I look forward to seeing many of them next year within the Sixth Form and I wish those moving onto pastures new all the best of luck.”
