> “This will be the final cohort I take through as headteacher at the school so it was a thrill – and to be honest a relief – that they continued with the superb results which we have been fortunate to achieve over the last decade or so.

> “The group had a disrupted start to their education journey, but have come through at the end. We are all delighted for them and their families.

> “We look forward to seeing many of them flourish further in our Sixth Form and wider academy trust.”
