Headteacher Tim Harris said: “The news today is that students and colleagues have worked hard to create the results we have seen.

"Bearing in mind that the last normal school year for Year 13 was Year 9, our students have done amazingly well. We are proud of them all as they all go on to the destinations of their dreams.”
