GCSE Results 2025: Congratulations to our amazing Fifth Years
Well done to our Fifth Years on their fantastic GCSE results!
Head of Senior School Mrs Sarah Capewell said: “Congratulations to our pupils receiving their GCSE results today. It has not always been easy for this cohort of pupils: joining the school during the Covid pandemic meant that they have had to contend with all the challenges that that brought. However, they have shown such determination and courage to achieve impressive results across a broad range of subjects, learning important skills that will benefit them in the future. I look forward to seeing how they continue to develop in their Sixth Form studies.”
