The impacts of lockdowns and the time it has taken some learners to recover from these just cannot be underestimated and yet, here are our students, once again achieving over and above the national average, demonstrating their unique ability for deep learning and showing us all what they are capable of. Keep an eye on these young people; they truly have the ability to change the world for the better. Well done to you all."

"After the two disrupted years that these students have had educationally, I am immensely proud of them all for what they have achieved. Their attitude to learning this year, their determination to succeed and their ability to work through periods of extreme anxiety to demonstrate how very clever they are - all of these should be hugely commended. Our students are genuinely amongst the most capable and resilient learners I have ever worked with. I couldn’t be prouder of what they have achieved."
