Headteacher Amy Grashoff, added, “The value-added for both A levels and Applied courses is positive, which reflects the quality of teaching across a wide range of courses. These results are a just reward for the years of hard work by both staff and students”.

Ivy Education Trust CEO, Katy Quinn, commented, “As time goes on, it is so easy to forget that this cohort were the group sent home due to the pandemic for most of Year 8, receiving little face-to-face teaching for a year and a half, and still isolated in ‘bubbles’ throughout Year 10. The courage and commitment shown by them and the staff, who have taught and guided them with such compassion, has been truly remarkable. We are so very proud of each and every one of them”.
