“We are thrilled for our pupils as they receive their well-earned A-Level results. While they have faced many challenges over the last two years due to the pandemic, they have remained committed to their studies and continued to make progress. Today is a result of all that hard work and it is amazing to see their perseverance rewarded. “We are now excited to see them take their next steps into higher education, employment or apprenticeships and look forward to watching them achieve their potential. “I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to everyone who has supported our pupils and the Academy during these unprecedented times, it has been hugely appreciated.” - Todd Johnson, Principal
