“I am very proud of how hard my staff worked to administer the exams, and especially proud of how determined, ambitious and focused our pupils have been against the context of the pandemic.
“Our pupils have not only excelled in these exams, but by sitting rigorous assessments we have ensured that they are well prepared for the next stage in their educational journeys.” 

Almost 90 per cent of students achieved at least 5 standard passes including English and Maths and 72 per cent of pupils achieved a Grade 5 and above in English and Maths.
