Headmistress Dr Tracy Johnson said: “Prior to the global pandemic we were already anticipating that this cohort of students would achieve some exceptional A Level results.

“It is a great relief to us all to see that their hard work and determination to keep producing the goods during lockdown has paid off as it enabled us to build a robust evidence package to support our Centre Assessed Grades.

“I believe our ability to serve our pupils so well is testimony to our core principle of small class sizes and our commitment to exceptionally high levels of individual attention which facilitates these outcomes.

“I must also pay tribute to my teaching staff who have simply gone above and beyond the call of duty over the last six months to ensure that this cohort of young people have been awarded the results they truly deserve. I simply could not be any prouder.”
