This has been a highly unusual year for students entered for public exams because all exams were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students have been awarded Centre Assessed Grades or Calculated Grades, whichever is higher. Despite the exceptional circumstances, our students have achieved outstanding grades as a result of their hard work over two years and we warmly congratulate every one of them.
Congratulations to Year 13 students for their A Level results.
