We are immensely proud of the next steps all our students will be taking, including securing places at prestigious universities, apprenticeships and in first jobs of their choice.”
Head of Sixth Form, Haseena Manji, said: “It has been another turbulent year, but our students have shown brilliant spirit, resilience and motivation throughout and I couldn’t be any prouder of their achievements. Their ability to develop a sense of hardiness was inspiring, and an absolute pleasure to be part of; I look forward to seeing our students go on to achieve brilliant things.”
This year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the government decided that young people’s grades would be determined by teachers, based on work students produced throughout their course. These grades were then moderated and assessed by external exam boards which awarded the final grades.
