These results are testament to the pupils’ efforts, hard work and resilience to attain this level of success. I would also take this opportunity to extend huge gratitude to our dedicated staff and teachers who have provided essential ongoing support and encouragement which has led to this great achievement. Our results compare favourably with the best schools in the UK. For example, in Biology, Chemistry and Physics 80% of all grades are A*-A”
