GCSE results 2017

Congratulations to the class of 2017 on their GCSE results - well done

There were celebrations this morning as our boys came to school to collect their GCSE results.  With the uncertainty about the new GCSE exams in English and maths there was an added tension as boys opened their results.  We are delighted with the results the boys achieved and most were very happy with their grades. 

Thank you to all who have supported them in achieving these great results including their subject teachers, support staff, the City Year team, Action Tutoring, and especially the valuable support from home. A special thank you to their Head of Year Mr Parry, who was very proud today, and his tutor team.  Well done to the boys in Year 11,not only for the results you have achieved but also for the way that you have supported and sustained each other in the lead up to and during the exams.
