The head said the pupils are celebrating outstanding achievements this year.

She said: “Students have demonstrated great resilience, working with commitment throughout lockdowns and in school to secure excellent results.

“We are incredibly proud of the achievements of all of our students and of the way in which they have approached the challenges of the last eighteen months, showing great resilience throughout. 

“The results also reflect the commitment of our staff team and the continued support of our parents, carers and governors. 

“We are delighted to see students gain university places and employment of their choice.

“The class of 2021 will be producing the engineers, doctors, lawyers and psychologists of the future and we wish them well.”
