Jonathan Belbin, the Headmaster, said: “I am delighted to see such a strong set of results and am
proud of each and every one of these departing students.

"They have made the most of their sixth form years, despite all the pandemic difficulties, achieving much more than these results portray and gaining so many life skills beyond the classroom. They have demonstrated real resilience and fortitude in the run-up to the exams and deserve every success in the future.”

Several upper sixth students gathered at the school at 9am to collect their results alongside their parents from the school's Cricket Pavilion.

The careers team were also at the school located in the Vanburgh Library to offer advice and support to those that wanted it.

The school now expect the vast majority of the year group to join their universities of choice, whilst
some have elected to apply for apprenticeships, enter employment or take a gap year.
