Today we welcomed many of this year’s Year 11 cohort back to school to celebrate their success on this GCSE and BTEC Level 2 results day. Pupils and their families met in Bradbury Heights to catch up with friends and congratulate each other on their success. The Headmaster and members of teaching, therapeutic and support staff also joined the occasion.

 

Our school community congratulates each and every student on their hard work and tenacity in the face of challenge, and for achieving such remarkable results at the end of their GCSE journey.

 

This year’s fantastic Year 11 students have, again, beaten the national averages for grade 9-4 GCSE passes overall, and in English and Mathematics. What an achievement! All 61 candidates have overcome the challenges of Dyslexia, Developmental Language Disorder or associated special educational needs, and 77% are the subjects of Education, Health and Care plans (EHCPs).

We are excited to welcome back many of our Year 11 pupils in September into our Sixth Form provision and wish the very best of luck to those who are going on to study or train at other schools and colleges.

 

We wish our Year 11 leavers the very best of luck and hope that many choose to stay in touch through our Alumni Association!
