Some words from our Headmaster about y11 results:

"The cohort of 2025 have produced an excellent set of GCSE results, which they have worked very hard for. This cohort experienced a national lockdown in the first year of their secondary education and started school in a bubble.

From the Headmaster;
β€œWe knew that the 2025 A-level cohort were a special group of students, but their results have surpassed our expectations, representing the best outcomes in a non-Covid affected year since 2018, with top grades being the second highest since 2015."
