This is the first time that these students have sat formal exams since year 6. They have endured significant disruption to their education but despite this, and because of their hard work and commitment as well as the support they have received from their specialist teachers and the school’s Governors, they have achieved great results.

Zoe Brixey, Head of Sixth Form, said: “This year has been challenging for students, with much anxiety as this year group did not have the benefit of sitting GCSEs and have not completed any formal exams since the end of primary school. We are extremely proud of how they have performed and coped with the stressful exam period.

"The ethos we have where staff know every student well has helped us to support and encourage them to achieve. We place great importance on ensuring that our students leave the 6th form ready to progress to university or work, and we are confident that they will continue to be successful in the future.”
