Congratulations to all our year 11 pupils on their GCSE examination results; they should be extremely proud that their hard work and determination has paid off.
Early indications show that our 2026 GCSE results are the best ever for the school for a fourth consecutive year!
A big thank you to our hardworking and dedicated teachers, support staff and parents / carers who collectively have worked to ensure that all pupils achieve the very best exam grades possible.
