Mrs Michele Anderson, said: “We are very pleased with the GCSE results that our Year 11 students have achieved this year.
“The High School is delighted that the students have done so well in their GCSE subjects; they should be as proud of themselves as we are of them.
“Initial progress analysis indicates that students have worked hard to achieve the aspirational targets we have set them and exceeded their expected progress. We are thrilled for them.
“This is a lovely cohort of young people who have worked incredibly hard over the last five years to do so well at the High School.
“They approached the examination period with resilience, having to sit a far higher number of examination papers over a shorter period of time than in previous years.
“They have been rewarded with grades that will stand them in good stead for the next step in their education.
“The great majority of Year 11s will be returning to the High School in September to take up A Level courses along with a large number of transferees from other schools. We are looking forward to welcoming them all.
“These GCSE results remain a testament to the very high standards set at the High School and to the hard work of all students and staff, supported by parents and governors.”
