Headmaster David Holland said "Despite the reported national reduction in grades this year, these students have excelled. This is a fabulous, well-rounded group who have worked very hard. We should also remember that this is a group of pupils for whom these were their first public examinations, having not sat their GCSEs due to COVID. Warmest congratulations to all pupils, parents and staff."
