Head's Message
It was lovely to see our former Year 11s back for GCSE results day. Most of the year group came and stayed for the morning to celebrate their successes. We continued to see improvements in the results and the overall pass rate increased compared to last year, including those students getting grade 4 and above in English and maths. In some subjects students did exceptionally well, in particular in individual sciences and in languages, with a stunning 90% of students achieving above a grade 4 in photography too.
