"The disruption to education has continued this year following 18 months of lockdowns and online learning. These results reflect our students’ determination and resilience, as well as their diligence – we must bear in mind that this year was the first year students have completed public exams, having missed out in 2019 for their GCSEs.

"We are proud of every one of our students, and we wish them well for their next steps. We are HBK!”
