Due to social distancing measures Year 11 students received their results by email this year.  It is a very bitter sweet time for the school because we are so delighted with the achievements of the young people but quite upset that we will neither see them nor talk to them in person about it today!

I must express my concerns for our students given the number of issues that have arisen in the past week, including the latest from Pearson, this has had a huge impact on the school community: our young people have been coping very well with the pandemic lockdown measures which already have lead to a number of mental health issues, and now they have had to listen to constant change and (gratefully received) U turn in the systems over grades which will affect their future and stay with them forever.

The uncertainty of the situation is stressful for schools, but even more so for the students whose next steps are being decided upon. We have had a number of huge individual successes and we are so proud that our students will now be able to take the next steps in their educational career.
